From articles about the artists:

ìAll artistic trends nowadays have equal civil rights; every artist has a right to work in any chosen style and present to the public his works, created in accordance with his tastes and ideals. But equality of civil rights does not imply equality of esthetic values. There are art phenomena that we can consider fundamental or incidental, principal or secondary, fruitful or futile, belonging to fundamental art trends or attesting to superficial ones. So it seems that in the diversity and chaos of todayís art life, the most significant are those which derive from the great traditions of the classical art of the past, from the evergreen tree of life, from the realistic fundamentals of art.î

 V. Vanslov Harmony of contrasts. Russian Art of the second half of the 20-th century.
 
 

ìThis time the ìSchool of Russian Realismî exhibition at the Future Classics Gallery presents a young artist who continues the traditions of Russian realistic school of painting of the 18th-19th centuries. A graduate of the most prestigious art institutes, Dimitry Shmarin, in his work relies on famous names and examples: K. Brullov, V. Surikov, I. Repin.î

      Mikhail Sidlin Domovoi 1996 ?5
 
 

«Without hiding my personal, passionate desire to find the ideals of the painter Surikov, I dare mention the works of Dimitry ShmarinÖ I would like to call attention to the refined nature of theyoung painter's soul and eye. This is also evident in his portrayal of faces and his ability to create a system of images using the state of  surrounding nature and man's immersion in it as well as in the sensitivity to the loftiness of the words and ideas which must resound in a painting.»
