I , too, was familiar with Pavel Leonov . Made several trips to Savino in 2007-2008 . At that time he lived with his son and has not worked . Tried to convince him to paint a picture for me, but even a pencil sketch he could not finish , he was already very weak . But one day his son Sergei wrote the work " under the pope " , but this is a completely different " creativity " . I bought this work is not expensive , as a curiosity . Corrosive paint , chemicals , painting rough and not like a father , so that the mix of their work difficult . Personally, I am surprised at the unusual harmony , subtlety of color works of Paul Leonov ( as the color of the artists felt the 20- 30 's.) . A large number of psevdoleonovyh - MYTH ! Leonov's very difficult to forge , as a talented self-taught artist who has worked on a hunch , intuition , using the rules understandable only to him.
Sorry ... A true artist is getting smaller . The bright memory of him .
