Lansky and color:

"When should I mix the paint when needed, I am separating one from another - so that they fought with each other or even better, that reigned among them the deepest sincerity. Sometimes I impose them with fury, and sometimes - with affection, not knowing what awaits them in the role razvorachivayuschieysya drama.
"When the black in its place, other colors are a common language.

That's all. Here is just another phrase Lansky, who is completing a text on sovy Lanskoy Katia Zubchenko. This phrase struck me by its simplicity and enclosed in it the absolute truth: "The painting is one: this time".

He also had another young student-girlfriend - Natasha Kozina.
Natasha and Katya, in turn bosom friend-rival.

Figurative work Lansky no longer as undervalued and the best of them prices are already approaching 100tys. But they are certainly cheaper than abstractions.

[Meister]

black abstractions are the best! energy in them crazy! he had an ulterior motive for de Stael was able to influence!

But it became it became when completely freed from this influence (as well as the influence of marriage).
And in general, compare Lansky and Steel can only catalog Lansky, is not it?
