The artists portrayed them and presented their own artistic vision of the famous literary works of the writers. Art works present different styles that reflect various stages of their development, as well as inflection points of Russian literature and culture in general. Even though most of the art works were painted in a realistic manner, there were also paintings performed in the abstract manner.
