Paintings of the Soviet period is full of brilliant names. Unfortunately, time is sometimes ruthlessly to the memory of the art formerly known authors. Example is the name of the prematurely departed in 1997 a full member of Arts, Honored Art Worker of the RSFSR Filatcheva Oleg Pavlovich (1937-1997). In 2007, academic halls Prechistenke an exhibition of his memory have included a pictorial and graphic works submitted by the artist's family. OP Filatchev better known as a muralist. He worked not only in the USSR but also abroad. Its walls were decorated with paintings of the USSR Embassy in Washington. Some radical citizens linked intravital success with "giperkonformizmom" mirovoreniya artist in relation to power. Leave on their conscience this statement. OP Filatchev entered the history of art as an artist reinterpreting dull aesthetics severe style, enriching it with new image-plastic language. Filatcheva favorite artists were painters of the early Renaissance. It was in this cultural-historical paradigm was the life-giving source of inspiration and creativity of the author of the landmark. Undoubted interest are the series of portraits of his contemporaries, executed in tempera on levkasnomu ground, as well as a magnificent series of graphic works dedicated to the fishermen to the north and military pilots.
Most of the heritage of the artist is included in the collections of major public museums. The market is practically no work of this author. In this regard, there is no information about the artistic heritage. But sorry. Yourself OP Filatcheva not so clearly understood in the context of the cultural perspective of artistic life in the USSR 70-ies. He himself, not only as a painter, but also as a person, were a type of universal and harmonious human era of great style.
