This name is well known artists, art primarily in connection with the Moscow exhibition of 1974, which went down in history as "the bulldozer".

But remember it and those who are in art had nothing to do: too much resonance caused this event. What happened? "As you know, with 30 years of XX century, officially supported the direction of art in the USSR was the only socialist realism. Other forms of art authorities often persecuted. And now a collector Alexander Glaser and a group of avant-garde artists, led by Oscar Rabin, decided to show all the products a plana.V September 1974, they staged a vernissage on the outskirts of Moscow, in a vacant lot next to the forest park Belyaevo. After about half an hour after the opening of the exhibition here bulldozers arrived, who began to push artists and audience. In this part of the picture was crushed.
This event caused a loud resonance in the foreign press, and after two weeks the authorities have allowed non-conformist artists to hold a similar exhibition in the open in Izmailovo. Nevertheless, one of the organizers of the opening day next to the forest park Belyaevo - Alexander Glezer - was expelled from the country. He took with him and his own large collection of paintings: his Moscow apartment on Preobragenke a few years on the merits was a real museum informal (independent) art.

- When I left, Oscar Rabin in Sheremetievsky airport told me: "You do not emigriruesh, you're going away on a business trip. So all the years in the West myself and I feel detached, - says Alexander Glezer.

After leaving Moscow, he creates an informal museum (independent) of Russian art outside Paris in Montgeron and in Jersey City near New York.

Museum of Montgeron eventually moved to Paris and three years was located near the famous Pompidou Center. Now this is a museum in France is no longer, but the one in Jersey City, works very efficiently. In the three-storey mansion, in the halls on two floors you can see the works of modern Russian, Ukrainian, and more recently, and Belarusian artists. Exhibited by Gleser and Western masters. Own the same collection of Alexander now has about 400 paintings, drawings, sculptures ...

The museum in Jersey City are both immigrants and Americans. Visitors can not fail to draw, when the artists who exhibited at Gleser, told The New York Times, The Washington Post. And it was, and Mikhail Shemyakin, and Ernst unknown, and many young artists, for whom the museum in Jersey City was in its time an excellent starting point. Now their work - in the Tretyakov Gallery and in other prestigious galleries in the CIS. The museum collection was displayed in the halls of the Senate and the U.S. Congress in Washington. Exhibitions were also in galleries in New York and various states of America.

To support the CIS contemporary masters of the brush, Alexander, since 1994, demonstrated their creativity in art museums of Vladivostok, Kharkov, Odessa, Zaporozhye ... And in the coming year will show the work of young in the Museum of Fine Arts named after Pushkin. In this museum, as well as in the Tretyakov Gallery some time ago, he presented works by artists of avant-garde 60-80-ies of XX century from his own collection. Times change. And now with interest the fact that once the government met with hostility.

Incidentally, in his time behind Glaser left and the artist Oskar Rabin, who was stripped of his Soviet citizenship and now lives in France. In 2006, he won the State Prize of Russia "Innovation" for his contribution to the development of modern art.

... Last year, Alexander Glezer first visit to Minsk and Vitebsk. As a result, the work of twenty-six of our countrymen in this year exhibited in the United States. And now a new arrival in Belarus.

- You have a lot of talented artists - says the guest. - It Tsesler Vladimir, Sergei Kiryuschenko, Alexey Ivanov, Zoya Litvinov, Ruslan Vashekevich, Zoya Lutsevich, Valentina Lyakhovich, Galina and Vasily Vasilyev ...

With these and other works of Belarusian artists Glaser plans to introduce not only Americans, but French, Germans. And he wrote a book about modern Belarusian art and one of his exhibitions in the next year is going to take place in Minsk.

Dear Olga,

This number of "art" I have not seen with pleasure to read.

Relatively Gleser - forgive me too, I prefer not to publicly speak out


I just now noticed that the compiler of books about Glezer was Eugene Rhine - it's incredible

[Meister]

Сообщение от LCR

the originator of the book Glezer was Zhenya Rhine - unbelievable

LCR, but not tell who he was and why was it incredible?

[Кирилл Сызранский]

Meister, but he, God bless him good health, "is" why "was"?

[Meister]

All he understand. Who also interesting:

showed early interest in literature. Received a technical education, in 1959 graduated from the Leningrad Technological Institute of Refrigeration Industry, where the specialty "Mechanical Engineer". By the same year is the first printed statement - in the newspaper Leningradskaya sanatorium "saw the light of the poem of the Rhine. Next published a poem in the anthology "Young Leningrad, appeared three years later.

Communicate with peers - I. Brodsky, A. Nyman, D. Monakhov, A. Kouchner, G. Gorbovsky and other leaders re-form the literary avant-garde, as well as with the older generation of writers, among whom were A. Akhmatova, A. Steinberg, D . Semenov gave a lot for the establishment of the Rhine-poet. Changes in the public mind, renew ties with the Western world, the penetration of Western culture, particularly music, influenced the Rhine-man (representative of the generation "stilyagi", he keenly followed the fashion, focusing on foreign samples).

Not working on a specialty, Rein earned hackwork, wrote scripts for documentary films (about two dozen), was engaged in a verse translation from the Georgian, Estonian, English and other languages. Actively working in children's literature. Thus, in the pioneer journal "Fire", he said, among other things, publishes an amusing prose stories, something like the classic "literary anecdotes, produces several poetry books for children. Acts both as a journalist.

Influence of cinema evident in verse of the Rhine, along with the influence of painting. From the first he took the visionaries, the change of plans and a system of distinct keynotes, in particular, the constant flashbacks (the most characteristic feature of the poetics of the Rhine) from the second - an interest in enlarged detail, portraits, landscapes (complex multi-figured compositions lacking even in lengthy poems). References to these two arts and roll with them is almost in every poem Rhine

Rare publication in the journals "Aurora", "Piece of Georgia", "Youth" and in foreign publications have not brought the poet fame. For the first time a large collection of 22 poems, appeared in the almanac Metropol, where the Rhine was also made as a composer of poetic section.

Since 1984, when I came out the first collection of original poetry Names Rhine bridges, his position in the literature began to change. He was admitted to the Union of Soviet Writers (1987) and Russia's PEN Club (1992), his works were awarded prizes magazines "Tallinn", "The Star", "Ogonyok" almanac "Sagittarius". He was awarded the State Prize of Russia (1997).

He has lectured abroad, is a poetic workshop at the Literary Institute. Gorky. Acts both as an essayist and memoirist. The book is very boring without Dovlatova together some narrative poems, memoirs and poems, and prose stories of the Rhine, part of which is known as oral stories.

Only question: why is surprising that he compiled Gleser remains ...

In truth, a highly dubious statement. Soaring prices for works of art due to huge amount of cash savings in the world and growing inflation. Works of art were selected as the goods are not affected by inflation, and actually replaced the money. Why are works of art such goods - a separate issue. Ret viewed several reasons, but, in principle, it is not so important. The market situation is such, and it is an objective reality.

However, it is clear that under any circumstances, wealth primary. If there is no food, clothing and other essentials, no pictures will not have any significant value. And given the impending global food crisis and the growing problems of global warming, when food production is becoming more problematic, it is not clear what values will remain in demand in 20-30 years.

During the famine, my great-grandmother bartered a loaf of bread on a large gold cross with diamonds. When such emergencies occur all the values are canceled and the gold and diamonds, and bills and factories. On a desert island from hunger, nothing will save.

But we are talking about the civilized world. And here investing money in the names has a very large sense. Even diamonds can not be compared with names in painting. It has already proved that you can get a surprising number of diamonds, and this production is pegged. But the artist for his life could write a limited number of paintings.
