And then there could be interesting:
Dobrokovsky, a true Petersburger - Midshipman Baltic Fleet. He was fond of painting and poetry of Mayakovsky. A sailor out of him did not work, as an artist, he became a first-class. In the twenties among Moscow artists, he was among the top five: Moore, Deineka, Cheremnykh Eliseev, Dobrokovsky, at the Paris exhibition in the twenties Dobrokovsky won a gold medal, but now nobody remembers him and his role in the development of Soviet graphic and poster.
In his Persian period Dobrokovsky searching for new forms worthy of our turbulent century. In the beginning he impressed us "spectral analysis". He argued that in nature there is no red, blue, and others, but only the spectra. They differ from each other only a predominance of one or another part of the spectrum.
Its spectral landscapes have little convincing. But he painted a portrait of a member of the Revolutionary Military Council Bones Tomaszewski, exhibited in the sun and the proposed estimate. And we are astonished by the expressiveness of a portrait, his sculptural volume, vitality, bringing an intelligent and mentally soft appearance Tomaszewski. We supported the search for the artist. But he suddenly threw the painting and drawing graphics. However, there did not go for the classic tracks, and began to search for new, better, in his words, "expressive and appropriate of the great era of wars and revolutions."
And in the schedule of his search yielded many good results. Even the Moor in the mid-twenties borrowed from Dobrokovskogo some graphic opening. And I'm still looking for cigarettes "Kazbek", remember Dobrokovskogo: he created a mountaineer leaping to illustrate the story of the Ossetian writer Bones Gatueva.
In Rasht Dobrokovsky was the most ardent advocate of Futurism and often lambasted our poets Mayakovsky's words:
How dare you be called a poet
And, gray, tweet, like quail!
Today
must
brass knuckles
Kroitsya peace in his skull! ..
Thanks Dobrokovskomu, which we styled "Hudogoy" I got some idea of the poetry of futurists ...
