St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum
Trained in St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, the artists were deeply influenced by the Old Masters as well as the Russian avant garde; their approach marginalized them from both the Social Realism of state­sanctioned art, and from the trends and ideological movements of the anti­Soviet underground. http://www.hermitagegroup.com/html/welcome.html

Tips for Choosing Art Work for Your Home

When shopping for art for your living room, here are a few things to keep in mind before you buy an original painting, artist reproduction or a framed art print.

Choose an artwork piece that compliments the color scheme and mood of your rooms current decor.

If you room has a theme (i.e. modern, shabby chic, country or sophisticated) make sure the art print's theme and design you pick supports the same theme as you room.

With any artwork from expensive original artwork to an inexpensive art print, framing is an important step to have the art be appreciated and make a statement. Poorly framed art tends to look cheap and neglected no matter how much you spent.

And lastly, make sure your art pieces do not come into contact with direct sunlight without UV protective glass to protect the colors in your artwork from fading over time.
