He collected his pictures and went to the Romanian border

"Vladimir Sinitsky was a student Chiriac Konstantinovicha Kostandi - the founder of the Odessa school, married his daughter Helen Kiriyakovne and as tradition would have continued the teacher. Sinitsky was similar to the high dry wood, which seldom blooms, but when the blooms, gives extraordinary results. I think that one day his work will appreciate, like, say, now valued Vermeer of Delft. He wrote the magical things and kept them all away in his studio, giving a repetition. Sometimes, do not resist the buyer, while Elena Kiriyakovna strongly squeezed his shoulder, and Vladimir M. reported that the work can not sell. There were times when they eat only one potato, living hand to mouth. Vladimir was a person of a shy, modest, never went nowhere from Odessa, it seems, for the first time he saw a collection of museums in Moscow, when he was 70 years. Once he gave me and Lena Mezheritsky prerevolutionary tubes of paint. I remember a tube with kraplakom. I first saw him when he worked on the urban landscape in the Odessa city park, standing between two lions. I was then 15 years. Of course, all the following week, I did not go to school, I was drawn to this toschemu boa constrictor with an extraordinary painter's case. Sometimes it seemed that his face resembles an owl. He wrote five or six colors, the color he felt the divine, it was created by nature for color-response agency. I remember all my life one of his work with the Crimean coast. It was just unbelievable that a man can write well, he produced some unusual color, it will feel fantastic tone, density, color, air, painted exactly as we did in the elderly. He had one weakness: to invent improvements to easel, umbrella. They said when the Red Army was close to Odessa in 1944, he gathered all his belongings and went to work and towards Romania, but as we know from the literature: RO unlucky, and he was returned to a communal apartment. The only thing left for him to - is to listen to BBC radio, priniknuv close to the receiver, and fear every sound. Luckily, it did not go where he painted portraits Tsimpakov. Moved Vlad. Mikhailovich huge strides and quickly, sticking his head forward, he included a maximum speed and keep up with him was impossible. At work, he walked like a man possessed. Huge sketchbook overcomes its trunk, merging with it, and it was an impression that is animated sketchbook with an umbrella. In those postwar times, artists have painted from nature for many sessions, it was magical ignorance of everything that happened in the West, and it was one of the wonders that has retained a real painting. Artists were isolated from the bustle of the world and wrote to the dictates of the heart. Odessa artists never suffer the patriotic enthusiasm, and those forks, still writing and buried on the shelves of their shops wonderful things in the future it will be those phenomena that are raised from the dead.
