His first oficial exhibition was organized in 1956th. Then it was like t a breath of fresh air. His work seemed incomprehensible, bizarre and free. Thousands people were waiting in long tales to see them. Now the art exhibition visitors are very difficult to impresse. But rare artist is worth to be called genius while he lives. So this exhibit is "must see" of course. By the way the great reconstruction of Pushkin Museum starts in coming years. Museum Village will be built on its territory. |
