                                                 "He always lived in an inverted world in Wonderland,
                                                                       which has everything - its laws, its sky, its land.
                                                 He was and is the Don Quixote of the Soviet era. "
                                                                                                         Mikhail Roginsky.

The name of Pavel Petrovich Leonov known to many fans of naive art, not only in Russia but also abroad. Like most of the naive artists, Pavel Leonov - a man difficult fate. He was born in 1920 in the Orel region, in the village Volotovskii, changed many professions: he was a librarian, a Pioneer, a painter, tinsmith, worked at a construction site. Several times found himself in jail. During the years of wandering have traveled almost the entire Soviet Union. All this time, Leonov did not abandon his dream - to become an artist.
In 1960 he joined the People's University Distance in Moscow, but soon end its zanyatiya.V 1968 Paul Petrovich resumed his studies at the famous artist and teacher - Mikhail Roginsky. For the first time his work has been shown in Moscow in 1970, his pictures manifested romanticized view of the world, the main storyline was the dream of the prosperity of the country where there is violence and humiliation, where labor is honorable and joyful. Only in 1991, aged 71, Paul Leonov finally began to paint constantly. To him the village Mehovitsy started coming artists, art historians and collectors. Sometimes, to unleash your inner gift of the artist, you may need outside help and assistance is not just a collector and patron, but also help a person, compassionate creativity. Such a role in the life of Leonov played deputy. Director of Science of the State Museum of Fine Arts. Pushkin (Pushkin Museum), Dr Habil Xenia Bohemia, recently deceased. In 1990 she organized a gallery of naive art, "The Gift", one of the first art galleries in Moscow. Largely through the efforts of Xenia Bohemian general public learned of Paul Leonov and other masters of naïve art.
 The purpose of the exhibition - show diversity of the artist's inner world, a world quite tight and very cautiously admits to himself that some of the outside world. Leonov live in an ideal space that is created from within. Almost every work is his so-called "TV" that is, insert in another space which can be seen with their developments. His paintings are full of optimism and clarity of sight, they whimsically blended past and future. In these elegant compositions, the viewer sees the carpet tightly "constructed" compilation, allocation of principal - on the principle of iconography. About Leonov often write that he "disappeared bytopisatel state of the USSR." He created his own world, consisting of recognizable Soviet cliches, but in this world is in agreement, and good triumphs over evil.
