Blessed, celebrated, received with such great honor that even my conscience worries about the undeservedness of all this honor, I am releasing a book of my writings in pen... I offer reminiscences of the most interesting moments of my life. We don't appreciate them...even shame them and gloss over them. I sketch about them exquisites.... Ilya Efimovich Repin had an outstanding literary gift. "Distant Close" - a book of memoirs about his life, colleagues and contemporaries, compiled and prepared for printing in 1915, but published for the first time after the author's death in 1937, withstood more than a dozen reprints and was translated into many foreign languages. "It's a miracle what it is!... That's how to write ... And what happiness for all, for whom these your "Notes" will forever remain, a deep page from Russian history" - critic Vladimir Stasov responded to the first publication of Repin's article about Kramskoy in 1892. Written in an amazingly bright, expressive, plastic and lively language memoirs of the artist and now, more than a century later, invariably deserve rave reviews from readers.
