The work of artists, called "School Sidlin" remains one of the most remarkable and, perhaps, the mysterious phenomena in Leningrad painting. And this is rare in the art of this period, the simplicity of plot (mostly still lifes). On the background of the "spectacular directions" Leningrad underground work sidlintsev look anachronistic. Scarce, soft colors, a poor set of depicted objects, full ostutsvie attempts to surprise. And all of this is involuntary magnetic attraction felt by even inexperienced viewer of these paintings. That's the essence sidlinskogo "education" that the painting speaks its own language as untranslatable language literary and associative.
