Victor Golyavkin - artist and writer
 

Reported that on 25 February, at SC on Bolshaya Morskaya 38, at 17 am, will be the opening exhibition of the artist and writer Victor Golyavkina. Paintings, graphics and, of course, his books. I think that will also be a book artist's widow, Lyudmila Bubnova Strela Golyavkina. I recommend those who are at this time in St. Petersburg, not to miss this event. Those who are older, of course, remember his stories, he began as a children's writer, so it was easier then to represent himself. And he immediately drew his books. It can not be called even illustrations, drawings "continued" text, subject, reinforcing absurdist intonation ... It was absurdist around, as he lived, how to draw that drew ... His friends rented a little film about him, perhaps it will show. Book Ludmila Bubnova too good, it accurately reproduces the time, you can even say it is a portrait of the time, written calmly and accurately, without error exactly. Collectors should be interesting, because part of the heritage of the artist intended for sale. He-peculiar figure in the past, but not too far away time, so as an investment purchase of his works or manuscripts can also be considered.

I just want to remind that on 25 February this tomorrow. Although responses were hardly any, but maybe someone forgot ... Victor Golyavkin was a true natural nonconformist when the term did not exist and he was alone in this. Because he closed the magazine "Aurora" ... Because of his short story "Anniversary speech" ... His drawings, supposedly "childish" surprise psychological accuracy.
