Memorial Evening Vagricha Bahchanyana, continued ...
Vagricha stories reminisced about his first impressions, podtoknuvshih to the arts - is it indecent images of war, Germans and Romanians, in 1946 in Kharkov - the first acquaintance with uncensored creativity.
Igor Makarov ( "Literary," the legendary "16 bar") recalls and other stories Vagricha of youth. Before the army and Vagrchicha accumulated trunk of his work. Coming in part, what to do - is unclear. And the artist has decided the problem is artistic. The night broke all in small pieces and threw it out the window. In the morning it turned out that the yard covered with a carpet of white fragments. Soon came an angry one-eyed janitor Ilya - oh, so-Rastak. Vagrich tried to deny it, but the caretaker has provided evidence - on a tiny scrap unfortunately remained a self-portrait Vagricha.
In his youth Bahchanyan, it turns out, a lot of interacting with the famous avant-garde Basil Yermilov. Saw many of his works. And then he could just as if not an expert, the expert to determine the authenticity of works Yermilov.
Reminisce collages and puns Vagricha. The most famous - "we are born to make Kafka come true", "beat thumbs - save Russia." All this punning heritage is primarily in his lifetime the book "a lot of the Flies" (суперская book, a pleasure to learn ingenious puzzles). From what has not heard - an appeal to his daughter Patsyukova, who lived in Germany. Instead of "my daughter" - "my Deutsch. Another Makarov thought: instead of "to lead in the chest and a thirst for revenge" - "with the wine of the chest and a thirst together."
The artist went to the U.S. in 1974. Grigory Bruskin said jokingly typically bahchanyanovskuyu, that is absolutely not politically correct as many jokes Vagricha. Our emigrants in New York like to alter the word in its own way. So Manhattan becomes a "Shaggy", and turkey (turkey - «tureyka", flow) in the "Turks". One of the major American holidays - Thanksgiving, happy saving the first colonists, in whose honor at the table agreed to file a turkey, "the Turk". Well ethnic Armenian Vagrich deduced that Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. - this is a great Armenian feast. Because in this day Americans cut Turk.
