The Moscow River School is an art movement which began in 1942 and continues to this day. It was founded by Yuri Kugach and his wife, Olga Svetnechnaya, and includes many famous Russian artists such as Nikita Fedosov, Nikolai Dubovik, Ivan Kugach, Nikolai Kozlov, Ilya Yatsenko and Mikhail Kugach. The Moscow River School was founded upon the idea that the greatest works of art were paintings with atmosphere (defined as realistic color and realistic form in space) and feeling. The artists of this movement disliked contrast and "tricks". They believed in technical adeptness, capturing subtle variation of color, and truthful portrayal of life. This group of artists obtained substantial fame within the Russian art world.
