Blue Rose
Blue Rose (Golubaya Roza). Group of Russian painters active in the first decade of the 20th century, named after an exhibition held in Moscow in 1907. Their acknowledged inspiration was Borisov-Musatov and their style was essentially Symbolist, although there was also influence from Fauvism and an interest in primitivism. (The origin of the name is uncertain, but the colour blue was particularly significant for Symbolists, associated with the sky and spirituality, and the rose has many symbolic associations: in 1904 an exhibition called the Crimson Rose or Scarlet Rose (Alaya Roza) had been held in Saratov, Borisov-Musatov's home town, and the Blue Rose was a successor to this.) Borisov-Musatov's most talented follower was Pavel Kuznetsov (1878–1968); other members of the group included the Armenian Martiros Saryan (1880–1972) and the Greek-born Milioti brothers, Nikolai (1874–1955) and Vasily (1875–1943). Georgy Yakulov (1882–1928), best known as a stage designer, was not a formal member, but he shared the group's concerns and was invited to contribute to their retrospective exhibition in 1920. The group was promoted by the journal Golden Fleece and exhibited under its auspices.

Blue Rose
Blue Rose. Group of Russian painters active in the first decade of the 20th century, named after an exhibition held in Moscow in 1907. Their style was essentially Symbolist, although there was also influence from Fauvism and an interest in primitivism. Their acknowledged inspiration was the short-lived Victor Borisov-Musatov (1870–1915), whose work has an exquisite feeling for colour and pattern. His most talented follower among the Blue Rose painters was Pavel Kuznetsov (1878–1968). The origin of the group's name is uncertain, but the colour blue was particularly significant for Symbolists, associated with the sky and spirituality, and the rose has many symbolic associations.
