About the artist AA Shishin

[Семен Шишин]

I will try to add something new about my father, AA Shishin, and show some of his paintings.
Basic info before you read on Wikipedia. Add only, that he ordered a copy of the Central Lenin Museum, the Museum of the Communist Party of Moldova, and the exhibition of Soviet art still held in Tokyo and Sendai.
He had his circle of admirers in Russia and abroad. I know for sure that his work was in England, Australia, Japan, Czech Republic, Bulgaria. Paintings were sold in the Foreign salon in Moscow, but no account, he did not keep.
One famous man said about his father: "He was a great artist, but was unable (or unwilling) to work with his elbows."
Was acquainted with prominent figures in art, literature, politics and business - with writers, AS Ivanov, VA Soloukhin, AV Sofronov, poet VI Firsov, LI businessman Baranikasom, M. Kolombet (now Gen. Consul of the Russian Federation in Palermo).
The well-known political columnist for the newspaper "Pravda" YA Zhukov wanted to write an article about his work, but he refused! Altruist ... He said, "" Time will show whether I am an artist. "
VI Firsov, dedicated a poem called "Solar wells."
  
     
      
     In the pits of the sun is not the case,
     There are stars sometimes.
     And yet - solar water!
      
     She's in heat -
     Does not decrease -
     Does not decrease
     In the cold.
      
     And no matter how drew,
     Not decrease,
     Do not be black and in the darkness ...
      
     Trail blazed people
     To all the wells on the ground.
     And though no churches with crosses
     They are - always clean,
     You are without a bow
     Can not get
     And drops of living water.
      
     No one
     Which the pipes
     Reaches the tap and nothing.
     And one
     What is there in the depths of the carcass,
     Heart pounding sun.
      
     And so it knocks the century,
     Does not stop never.
     In the heat - drunk man
     And obogreet
     In the cold ...
      
     And in an hour
     When dawn on maple
     Slips and drowns in height,
     Russia
     Giving nods
     Live well water.
