Interestingly, a strong influence of Van Gogh in these early works. We see the artist was so much impressed by his work.

PLANET Rotanova
 In the Tretyakov Gallery opened an exhibition remarkable artist Nikolai Mikhailovich Rotanova. This is the first major personalized his show, and she made a timely manner. Nikolai Mikhailovich recent years, seriously ill, but for those whom he taught, who knows, it is very important, as this exhibition - the act of recognition of the artist.

... When I was at MCI, then passed the House of Culture, read that in DC working art studio and is led by a member of the Union of Artists, NM Po-ta-new. In those years, it sounded very authoritative. I still remember how the evening to a room where there were "included in the creative process of" young and old studio members, quietly dropped in the same modest dress, with white artistic beard, head of the art studio, sat down at the table, and on an equal footing, to rustle, he began to draw on their pieces of paper some sketches. Time has passed - and it turned out that this was a unique diary of the artist, they were thinking about the world, consistently day after day, month after month, affixed to the paper in the form of characters, lines, variations in color ...
After graduating in 1966, the graphic art department MGPI, a young artist immediately immersed in creative search. In their quests that time Nicholas Rotanov aspires to new content picturesque experience of Russian Symbolism. Artist lot of experimenting with a variety of graphic techniques, tries on a single sheet to combine and set of prints, and collage, and the play of color spots. But this creative integrity and self-sufficiency, despite a teacher Rotanova in Remote People's University of Art, inevitably led to a charge of "formalism" and closed the artist access to the official exhibition Moscow Union and the Artists Union.

But the stigma of "formalist", sullen, silent failures vystavkomov, the inability to show their work, threats and surveillance oppressed, they failed to break an artist. Rotanov always remained a romantic, inspired by the poetry of Basho, M. Tsvetaeva, M. Voloshin.

The earliest of those shown at the exhibition Rotanova dated to the late 1960's - early 1970's, when a wave of public drunkenness figurative paintings of the artist captured the fascination with ancient Russian art, paintings and at the same time the traditions of impressionism and expressionism. In most non-objective compositions, written in 1970-1980-x, Rotanov creates its own world, not mimicking the attributes of the surrounding reality, but a convincing and self-sufficient. Most important for Rotanova were impressions of the exhibitions of Russian avant-garde and American abstract art, familiarity with the works of L. Popova, O. Rozanova, A. Rodchenko, Filonov, Kazimir Malevich, Alexandra Exter, the search for "pure color", the work spots, variations in color. In his notebooks Rotanov admits: "To Kazimir Malevich am as the first teacher - I have thoroughly studied his texts. Kandinsky - this is for me fundamentals of composition.
The exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery is presented only one side of the creative legacy - graphics, experimental paintings. Painting, as well as its theoretical literary experience while they wait for their researchers, publications. But now we can say that it will attract the attention of the thoughtful viewer.

Thank you, Lucy!
Interesting work on calendars, those with trees and the letters are very successful. Mysteriously, and at the same time extremely monumental.

Text of this puzzle. Only one is easily able to read - where about a crow and an autumn evening. Ironically goes: a mixture of Japanese forms, ancient-style drop caps, and more equipment - printing plates, but on the calendar. Gee ... Here's where to roam the modern curators, what the concept can be a case to roll - for some end of the coil does not pull it all interesting to unwind ... :p
