Every picture Vyacheslav Vyacheslav Kalinin - first and foremost a story, almost all of his subjects - alcoholic Elegy.

What you can do, if Kalininsky theater actors belong to the variety of Russian romantic, soaring on the wings of the green serpent.

is already hard to imagine that the artist-Sixties it was a risky way to freedom, and the octopus encoded by the name of «socialist realism», - does not exist in life, but deftly manage all of the nine muses huge utopian country - not strangled him in their arms.

Kalinin, the stories of his contemporaries (he was a neighbor of Plavinsky ), worked in a dark studio, which is often break in the bout, and very afraid of this, it ruled out of the family, and fly it straight into their own canvases, where incredibly kurolesil in forgetful drinking.

His shivering chills and fear, it has not, where and with whom drinking and that it was more.

When the popup some fantastic detail, was always impressed and thought that anything like this has happened to him, naively believing that his morochat.

But have always been undisputed evidence.

«I always remember with gratitude Slavu Kalinin, his failure assistance saved us from the most desperate deadlocks. Friendship with us and has been troublesome, and ruinous: we urgently need money to another doctor with "torpedoes", the astronomical debts to pay for the studio, if at all - to carry the whole family with children in the village on his car. SK was always the first to whom we turned for help, and I do not remember refusal on his part. He was a witness at our wedding. Since this was not our first marriage, all occurred in the district registry office at nine o'clock in the morning and weekday. Entered in the registration hall, we are affected, ostolbeneli: No, he was full of breygelevskimi limbs - on crutches, in the orthopedic shoes, in wheelchairs - and all in lace, with white carnations, and voila.

We are a long time to come in themselves. This picture is so shocked Kalinina that he gash in one week and then could not believe that was true when it determined that dopilsya till all's blue. To its credit, Kalinina, it should be noted - he was not ready to polstilsya plot, fixed life itself. Failed and refused to let the brush open man tragedy cruelly funny at first sight ».
