The two-volume "Ivan Lubennikov. Work in architecture. Painting. Book to read, "which includes information on ten architectural objects with the comments of the author and leading architects, art more than a hundred and fifty paintings (first volume), as well as artistic and nonfiction (second volume), released publisher Agey Tomesh /WAM (World Art Museum), with the participation of Russian Ministry of Culture and the Agency for Press and Mass Communications.

Recently, artists have often turned to the literary genre. It is easy to understand. As Ivan says Lubennikov: "There are things that do not will draw and not blind."
Of course, creative writing does not come all at once, but in the case Lubennikovym all logical. He had long and successful teaching at the Institute. Surikov, an excellent command of language, and not only Russian, well-educated man, familiar with the cultures of different countries, with extensive creative and life experiences.
Therefore, the literary work of Ivan Lubennikova is destined for the reader's interest. You always want to see a stranger, artistic, in this case, the world inside, eyewitness and participant in the art process, when you think you can "peek" or "ferret out" some secrets.
As the author himself says, his prose is devoted to time and space and, of course, people. In the story two times - and the domestic general move towards each other.
The first part Lubennikova - dokumentalizirovanna stressed. It is divided into chapters-large projects. Work on Ivan describes each seemingly dry, but with great inner strength, calls the real names of people, one way or another "accompanying the artistic process," not choosing words that describe typical situations that arise during the implementation of major art orders.
If the first part of the book talks about creativity, about the history of creation and realization of art objects great master, the second - for the people. In entertaining fashion artist shares his impressions of travels to his native country, for Europe and Latin America, recalls his childhood, thinking about art.

Thanks for the info , but when the book will go on sale ? I have long been interested in this person in all respects an extraordinary artist. In his interview , he makes very interesting thoughts about the place of the artist in the world, about its purpose , with respect to the powers that be . For example, here are:

" The court artists were, are and will be. This is a specific kind people . Sometimes, among them there are good masters, but it did not depend on artists, and enlightenment of the Kings. Alas , the Kings are not so enlightened today ... Actually, to be court artist quite interesting. Because the most interesting - to live my creative life , and above all to please himself. Personally, I'm running from communication with the powers ".

The book is available now. In large networks, and in special small shops.

By the way, the exhibition is called "The Price of Freedom" as the eponymous small still life, which harmoniously combine the dried fish, but free, and fish living in the comfort of your aquarium. About the same price of freedom of the artist in contemporary society. On account Lubennikova - many large monumental works, unfortunately, came to the last years of Soviet power - the era of "stagnation." Little has been preserved. Closed Russian-Soviet policies of Auschwitz (on Russian section of the international museum of "Auschwitz," the artist worked in 1985.) Hidden panels, and possibly destroyed by painting the club Trekhgornaya Mill (1982), the Propylaea mutilated Museum of Mayakovsky (1991), dissolved in an uncivilized Wild commercials metal structure over the old building Taganka Theater (1987). This is partly why the artist accompanies the easel paintings by photo-and video-materials, fixed processes for creating monumental works.

Fortunately, among the works Lubennikova is "eternal", above which no power nor time, nor ill-will of people: the design of metro stations.
Here is a great interview with the artist: "It's very trying, as the metro - it's all"

Very interesting and informative interview , thank you. Especially liked the passages Lubennikova about painting :
" First, the painting - it's hard. A painting - even more difficult. This one has to learn , which takes much time and effort. It is much easier to stick somewhere crumpled newspaper, then education is not required, and come up with this excuse is always possible - the human mind is very inventive . "

I quite by chance yesterday failed to attend the installation of the exhibition hall Lubennikova in DNA ( left of the entrance and down). Honestly , I never expected that it would be really a lot of installations in general, some natural , I suppose. Gardening tools , wooden stumps , Braids ... Picturesque bright banners look impressive, easy to keep the tall walls. By the way, say the opening was about one of the Art Investmenskih Guru. Fotit will . Let's see >
