the Renewed interest in the creative legacy of the master more clearly brings out that side of his talent, which had remained in the background: the increasing popularity gets a book illustration of Anatoly Zverev. In with created throughout several decades drawings Zvereva for the works of Russian and world literature.

Zverev — artist with a very distinct, developed a handwriting and a characteristic of the creative person. In the books he continued the tradition of Russian art, attentive not only to the symbolic and static imagery of a literary work, but also to its plot development, twists and turns of the narrative. Individual graphic techniques of the artist contrasted with the conventional in his time, notions of normative boundaries and principles of the art of the Illustrator. For all its obvious connection with the tradition, the interpretation of Anatoly Zverev classic texts remain very individual and distinctive. Dominates the principle of operation of the sheet alla prima. Rushing lines, accented by expressesthe, expressiveness of gestures and facial expressions literary heroes are perceived as a direct trace of the movement of the hands, the thoughts and feelings of the artist, gifted with a special temperament.

Starting in the sixties in the works of Zverev is series of graphic and picturesque portraits of his Muses — Oksana M. Aseeva, one of the famous sisters Sinakevich. Meeting with Aseeva, determined the line of personal fate, but also the most profound and complex lyrical theme in the painter's art. The youth and beauty of this woman forever captured in the remarkable verses of her husband, Nicholas Aseeva ("For her Golden tresses, / her young shoulders...") and Chairman of the Globe — Velimir Khlebnikov ("the pearl of the Northern Pechora / Taila clear the eye of the lake..."). Aseeva and in old age had preserved the reflection of a bygone culture of the Silver age. Probably, the style and the rebellious nature of creativity Zvereva reminded her of a stormy literary and artistic life of the early XX century, which is when-то was boiling around her. One way or another, but for the artist himself irresistible charm Aseeva became a powerful source of inspiration. The exhibition includes her portraits, reads like a lyrical poem Anatoly Zverev.

But Aseeva and dedicated this poem, in verses, and dozens of poems Zvereva. Known by his autobiographical notes and by numerous memoirs of contemporaries that the artist from his early youth to the end of his life wrote poetry. They remained very much — but still this side of creativity Zvereva not attracted-нибудь serious attention. As in his early painting, Zverev in poetry is closely associated with Russian futurism, with the historical "avant-garde".

In the self-portraits, favourite genre of Anatoly Zverev, the viewer can see a new aspect of the world of carnival culture, in which the artist lived. That's a kind of confession of a master, the story of his soul. In the portraits of his youth in front of the audience — romantic and a dreamer; at maturity —, the epicurean and raisinets; to end of life — tired lonely man.
