The collection of documents by Ivan A. Morozov in manuscript of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts

Abstract

The famous collections of new art works of the late 19th – early 20th centuries of the great collectors S.I. Shchukin and I.A. Morozov have a pronounced individual character. The documentary materials of these collectors, stored in the Department of manuscripts of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, are also distinct. The preservation, number and typology of documents reflect not only the personality and fate of the collectors, but also the history of the country. The first special address to the history of formation and the composition of I.A. Morozov's documents collection complements the collector's way and the fate of his collection. Leaving practically no personal and family documents, I.A. Morozov carefully handed over business papers to the museum curators, confirming the immaculate provenance of his collection. Drawing attention to personal provenance funds brings to the fore the importance of their acquisition and preservation.
