But when one of us can stop
our restless and insatiable
in cases bustle of attention,
we find ourselves at the mercy of painting.

Anatoly T. Zverev was born November 3, 1931 in Moscow. At 23 he entered the Moscow Regional Art School in memory of 1905, but to get there full-time education failed. Further education he received and formed his aesthetic taste for self-study pictures of representatives of Western European art at the State Museum of Fine Arts named after AS Pushkin. During the Moscow International Youth Festival in 1957, the famous Mexican David Siqueiros at an art exhibition gave the young artist a gold medal. In 1965, in Paris, Pablo Picasso delighted to see the work of Anatoly Zverev at the exhibition organized by the conductor Igor Markevich, called it "the best Russian painter." Bezbytnost, restlessness and a drinking turned into a kind of Zvereva "horrible" and at the same time "favorite child" of the Moscow underground. Creative writing different artist freedom. Many of his paintings he created in minutes. He improvised, regardless of what worked - watercolor, oil or pencil. And she turned improvisation in the act of art, a kind of happening, which ended with the signature rapid-stroke. "A true artist, even if he does not have a paint and must be able to draw a piece of land with the help or clay" - usually said Zverev.

He has worked in all genres, but most of all he managed portraits. Notable among these are many female portraits, fascinating for its unique lyrical expression, technical excellence, the ability to stop the perfect moment and make the audience experience it again and again. The main muse of the artist Ksenia Mikhailovna Aseeva, widow of the famous poet, with whom Zvereva tied very difficult, but it brings him to creative inspiration relationships. Zverev died in Moscow on December 9, 1986.
