Viktor Pivovarov. Gray Notebook. - Moscow: New Literary Review, 2002. - 384 pp., Ill.

Viktor Pivovarov - a wonderful artist. Some know him for the wonderful pictures of children's books, for example, andersenovskomu "Ole" and "Black Hen" Pogorelsky made yet in the 70 years and have become classics of the national picture. Many of us grew up on them. For others, Pivovarov - especially one of the founders, along with Ilya Kabakov, Eric Bulatov and Vladimir Yankilevsky, Andrew monastery and Lev Rubinstein, the so-called "Moscow conceptualism" - an artistic phenomenon, who formulated in the 80 years of our contemporary art into the international arena.

issued a UFO book convinced that he - very interesting and very original writer. "Love Agent" and "Gray Notebook" - about the same. About half-starved childhood in postwar Moscow, about how to become an artist Pivovarov, about friendship, about love, about art and about the Soviet regime, the countries of emigration in 1982 in Prague. In the preface to the "Gray Notebook" he writes that this book should be read with his left eye, and "Lover agent" - right. Of course, this is difficult. Not all are endowed with such gift stereoscopy. Books can be read one after another, no matter in what sequence. "Agent Love" is written in the first person, it is autobiography. "Gray Notebook" - a collection of documents, and the present, and invented. Here the letters, notes left by friends at the door of the studio, essays, photographs, drawings Pivovarova son Pasha, who is now a well-known artists and writers under the pseudonym Pepperstein, lists of people who visited Victor's guest. And the wonderful "Filimon, or Notes from the Underground" - a blog mouse Philemon, who lives in pivovarovskoy studio, and tells the story of Victor and his friends. Lyrics Pivovarova remarkably observant and accurate. They - the most valuable source of knowledge about cultural life in Russia in the last third of the twentieth century. But it is very fine, remarkably genuine literature. Here, perhaps, lies the gift Pivovarova: telling a very intimate and delicate things, he never for anyone not hiding and not break down in the turning out of the soul inside out. And it is very difficult when writing in his autobiographical, even confessional genre. Pivovarov able to see the little things in the universe. And he knows how to make friends and love and clear talk about it. His words about his first wife, who died early in the poet Irina Pivovarova and Milena Slavitskoy, his second wife, a son Pasha, on his friends Evsee Drize, Henry Sapgir, Igor Holin, about Ilya Kabakov, for those whom the reader can not know for sure or not knows - piercing and full of kindness. Somehow, even embarrassing to praise the writer for what he is a good man, but in the case Pivovarova not escape: his literary skill is directly linked with human qualities. And if you add that both books are beautifully illustrated works Pivovarova, then one can conclude: the books to read. Do Right eye, left - not important. Better - head and heart.

As for the literary sources on Krasnopevtsev, they are extremely rare. In several smaller catalogs and books have been published just over a hundred reproductions of paintings Krasnopevtsev partially published schedule, fragmentary - diaries. Poor printing quality of published materials are not allowed to appreciate the skill of the artist, the subtle glaze, which became famous krasnopevtsevsky "Antique color. Published with the support of the Cultural Foundation "Ekaterina" three-volume publication is intended to fill this gap. It is devoted not only Krasnopevtsev - artist, but Krasnopevtsev as a multifaceted personality, reflected in his works of philosophy and high purpose of art. For the first time succeeded in so completely present not only paintings Krasnopevtsev previously largely unknown, but also to publish his graphic and literary heritage.

In the first volume of diaries submitted Krasnopevtsev illustrated by drawings of the artist. The transition from personal experiences to the images, allowing a better understanding the artist's creative world - the essence and content of the first volume. Second volume - reproductions, etchings and graphics, early work Krasnopevtsev. In the third volume also - painting, most clearly represented "metaphysical Still Life", combining the traditions of symbolism and surrealism, for many years to become a dominant genre of the artist. In the second and third volumes also included articles art.

The book may be of interest not only for specialists and collectors, but also for a wide range of art lovers.

Book a Norwegian historian and writer Atle Ness "Edvard Munch. Biography of the artist, "he wrote in 2004, is designed more for a wide range of readers. By attracting sources: diaries, letters, literary texts from the archives of the artist MM in Oslo, as well as the published correspondence Munch.

The book gives a complete picture of the historical and cultural situation in Norway and Germany throughout the life of the artist. Particular attention, as befits a biography, given the events of Munch's personal life and their evaluation in the light of his personal qualities. One gets the appearance of a person with a fragile health, intellectual development and delicate kind, but not weak, and unrestrained in his work and confident of his genius creator, despite the constant need. On the basis of correspondence tells about the relationship of Munch and his family, women and friends. The details are set out with patrons, allies and volunteers. Step by step unfolds the creative life of complete lack of understanding during the first two decades of creativity through a huge success in 1910's to the absolute international recognition in the 20's and 30's. Some interesting statistics from the financial area - the prices of sales at the pictures, the amount of income and tax returns. In short, the book Ness covers all the points that art historians largely sidelined from the professional or ethical considerations. The book is not determined by ownership of Munch to one or another direction of art, the consideration of motives and images of paintings is to describe and create stories, although there are small Glaucus, on the portrait, self-portraits and monumental paintings. Opinions about the creative method, limited quotation of letters and conversations with friends Munch. And although the book is not art history perspective, this does not detract from its value as a full-fledged biography. Among its advantages include unobtrusive articulation of a principled position, which in scientific monographs of the second half of XX century remains, as it darkened. Of all the vicissitudes of a difficult fate of the artist, it is clear that the host country is not very Munch complained, and the success and recognition came to him first to Germany and then in Norway and in France, he had not managed to achieve sustained attention to the person. Another merit of Ness is debunking the myth of the reclusive lifestyle of the artist in the last decade in his estate Ekele. Described in the book numerous contacts with friends, exhibition organizers and buyers of travel abroad, show that he actively communicated, protecting themselves through this myth, only from unwanted contacts. Among the shortcomings include a small number of color illustrations, although they are of good quality. Ness The book was translated into Russian and has appeared on sale in late 2007. The last book of Munch (R. Stenersena), not counting the three small albums that came out in the country in 1972. So the appearance of the first full-scale biography of the artist in Russian can be considered a welcome development.
