Yuri Zlotnikov exhibition at Ermolaevsky 17

[Vladimir]

Until June 5 to 17 Ermolaevsky last exhibition of Yuri Zlotnikov. This is a patriarch, a man from the first pages of the history of other art, the developer of original "signal of painting." His early warning system appear in about 1956, redefining the origins of motion impulses of the nervous system. Read Vadim Alexeev (our alexvadim and alexvadim.livejournal.com): «The late Volkonsky told me how gifted Zlotnikov fashionable tie in the form of a semaphore, and he began to draw signals. I do not know, but it appears to the historical legend as an apple for a Newton or an inverted pattern to Kandinsky.

Retrospective - Interesting. From a rough portrait expressionism (what's your German), and strong "socialist ekspressionima" (factories, construction sites, workers), to abstract expressionism (the Moscow streets in the lights can be seen veiled figures of men). And then to pure abstraction, signal, without any admixture figurativa.

Three years ago under mysterious circumstances happened to talk to Zlotnikov on the phone. He was keenly interested in what's happening in contemporary art that is bright, what is important. It's amazing. Such a sincere desire for a new and genuine interest in the arts here and now "- a rarity for the bison of the sixties.

Generally find myself thinking that the mere sight of this brisk 81 year old man has a therapeutic effect: He teaches us not to become cynical, not sprayed, do not change yourself and do not lose the joy of life.

The exhibition looked Vladimir Bogdanov, a signature - as always in the file names.
