Been in the construction of hydropower plants, metallurgical plants, mines, chemical plants, oil fields, and sea-fishermen, sailors, border guards — in the far North and in the South, the West and the far East, in Siberia.

the Artist's deep social orientation, he was able to take this constant for Russian art the theme of your pure and genuine tone. A modern aesthetically atomized environment, the image of the "severe style", the routine of everyday life of those deprived of household things, starting to feel the romance of the spirit.

Opens the exhibition a series of graphic sheets "Plant "hammer and Sickle"" (1964), received in 1966 at the international Biennale of graphics in Cracow highest rating. Nazarov uses the front plans are not avoiding portrait shows a man in work, in action. The artist has a special ability to choose the angle. Positioning the viewer in that he found the point he shows a panorama of the composition from the bottom up, achieving vivid expression. Or gives the viewer the opportunity to observe the employment act, almost reportage fixing what is happening.

Quite different, partly a memorial, partly a biographical theme — forever departed Moscow 1940-60-х years, his home, where the artist always returned from his trips. Moscow series "Zastava Ilyich" — in her pipe and factory buildings of the plant "Hammer and sickle", the backyards and barracks in the area of Ilyich and the highway of Enthusiasts, the life of people Novoderevenskaya street. Compared to the works dedicated to the great construction projects of the Moscow artist's work less, their song is concise, the prospect is given easier, cool colors give way to warm colors. Silhouette of a man molded softer. And Moscow characters Nazarov — is the same working people that in the big things, but only after work or at the weekend. So often the artist is drawn to the pictures of the evening or night life, masterfully conveys the perspective of the streets, contrasting lights, Windows, low Windows, wooden frames.
