Front page l In 1999 Jean-Michel Vetu was invited
in Moscow by his friend and painter Nikolaï Kojoukhovski, a member of the union of Russian painters.
From Moscow to Saint Petersburg, Nicolaï made him discover The Great Masters
in Russian Painting.
From his first trip, he had a very pleasant recollection.

He made several trips and stays in Russia between 1999
and 2004, where he worked in the very famous music institution
" la Capella" in Saint Petersburg.
There he met well known musicians, world- famous conductors, attended practices
and was full of these renowned premises.
His sketches drawn from life when attending practices will be of a great help
for his next exhibition planned in Saint Petersburg .
In june 2001, the director of the Bolchoi theater
welcame him.
He explained his project: an exhibition about the most famous corps de ballet
of the Bolchoi. His project was given a favourable reception.
Jean Michel Vetu's dream is about to
come true: to paint the stars !
He will be back to Moscow next october; he will settle down for several months
in a studio located in the Tvserskaya street, next to the Bolchoi theater.

The pass he got from the Ermitage museum authorities
allowed him to step in the most famous museum in the world.
For several days, he paced up and down the long corridors and the rooms with
his sketch block.
He contemplated, rejoiced and was enraptured.
