The Hermitage Group is an unofficial union of students and graduates of art schools and institutes, which was formed in the late 1960s under the leadership of G.Y. Dlugach (1908–1988). The main task of the Hermitage group's work was to define the work «on the form that creates the plastic image as a phenomenon». The image of their native and beloved city, the «man-made pearl» – St. Petersburg – was enriched with the deep feeling of «convergence of means when constructing a three-dimensional and surface space», which turns art into a natural process of enriching the plastic vision.
