Igor Guriev, surprisingly, that this artist and someone else remembers.

I remember my horror when I saw his prints on the pages of Brezhnev Ogonek.

To say that this is kitsch - is praise.
Kitsch at least not antichelovechen.
In no kitsch inhumanity.

I remember my horror

Well, yes, the horror and calculated. At the subconscious acts . this (for this) and use "syurnyaka" (a little). Among the Slavic stylization is, of course, alone. After all, Vasnetsov, Bilibin, or ED Polenova horror not cause - berries, shrubs, flowers, "Berendeevka + epic distance. And K. Vasilyeva solid "Triumph of the Will." The voltage of the confrontation and conquest. Most Germanic attitude. But with all its charms - a heavy mystical cult of Wotan (vaguely remember gallows, dead ancestors, warriors, and their cult, and so Nibelungen cm) Again, Brunnhilde and other heroic Valkyrie . "This Video ideology as a Slavic could be used for the presentation of Russia's foreign policy under Yaroslav the Wise (for Europe). Only in the 11 century. But after Yaroslav Varangian ideology diminished, assimilated, the Germanic God (weather) disappeared, remained Slavic God.
As with the imaging system crosses found the classics of Russian art 19 century national identity (see inlay of the Historical Museum, for example, or the Vladimir Cathedral in Kiev). He (Style) do not fight, but primarily agricultural. And if the Warriors, the defenders of the land and faith. But not the aggressors.
But the artistic taste of it, of course, changed. To me, both at the same level of taste with black caviar in a gold frame.

surprising that this artist is someone remembers

Moreover, around his name for many years some stirring occur. I remember some sensational exhibition many years ago, the museum of its events any. I have not penetrated, because no interest, but, as stated in the hearing.
Wow, Cyril! Somehow, I always considered him a kind of provincial self-taught artist with a tragic fate, risuyuschim images a la Russe. Well, not like it, fine. A self-portraits - is another matter. Now behold the dead masks were understandable. What a spooky!
