More information can be read here: http://artinvestment.ru/news/exhibit...ev_center.html

  The material consists of three parts. First, several large drawings, sketches Cyril Mamonova, who attended boarding school in the mental Yakovlev. The second part - almost an entire wall collage of portraits of Alexander Sabrina. He also photographed Yakovleva at the boarding school and skollazhiroval these pictures with recognizable gouaches and paintings by the artist. All seemed to present the birthday child. And, finally, the third part - drawings, and more sketches and drawings on the scratch pad pieces of paper from Vladimir Yakovlev. Images mostly non-profit, not adjusted, rough. Yakovlev painted for himself, as conditions permit (just do not draw could not). Man runs the risk of ill-prepared to see in them nothing but scribbles. So begin acquaintance with the work of the artist is from this show it would be rash. It is better to await the moment when you can comfortably watch the spectacular Yakovlevskij gouaches and oils, of the 1970's, 1980. And only then delve into the nuances. Exhibition "at the easel longer addressed longtime lovers, collectors, friends of the artist, who remember Yakovlev and such, and others. Not by chance on opening day apple was nowhere to fall (hence the muffled angles images): people aged 50-60 years had come for a holiday, birthday of the Russian genius. And now - that managed to photograph.
