Abstract

In the late 1950s, after a long break, the Soviet Union restarted sending official privileged artists to the United States on creative missions. On their return these artists were showing sketches and paintings based on what they had seen during their American trips at official exhibitions as well as their materials and interviews were published in major magazines and newspapers like “Yunost”, “Ogonyok”, “Kul'tura i zhizn'” etc. All these trips were a part of a grand exchange program approved between the USA and the USSR in 1958. Therefore, not only artists of the Bolshoi Theater or various dance groups, not only delegations of writers, journalists or musicians, but also Soviet nomenclature painters such as Vitaly Goryaev, Ivan Semenov, Yakov Romas, Orest Vereisky, Tair Salakhov, Vadim Ryndin, Alexey Shmarinov and others were able to see America in the late 1950s – 1960s. This article is concerned with the cultural relationship between the USA and the USSR in the late 1950s and in the beginning of the 1960s, the history of business trips of official Soviet artists and their impressions of the USA.
