The book by the famous art historian Georgy Fedorovich Kovalenko is a study dedicated to the work of Pavel Chelishchev, an artist who amazes with the scale and originality of his talent, but is practically unknown to the Russian reader. Russian by origin and upbringing, Chelishchev categorically did not want to be a "Russian artist in exile." He wanted to be a man and an artist of the world, and he became one!
The monograph reveals to the reader the versatility of the master's talent. His theatrical works - the design of the ballets "Oda", "Wanderer", "Balustrade" and the play "Undine" - were far ahead of their time. Having rejected traditional scenography, he turned to the scenic possibilities of light, turning theatrical scenery into an unprecedented spectacle. Chelishchev's work amazed, delighted, outraged, but did not leave anyone indifferent.
He was an artist with a special vision of "Mrs. Nature", as he called her and whose eternal tributary he was. With the help of accessible pictorial means, Tchelitchew sought to show the relationship between space and time, their metamorphoses, the eternal movement of all that exists. In the last works of the so-called "heavenly cycle", he, in his own opinion, found an ideal form of expression for all this - a symbolic image of man in the Universe. New icons? A new icon painter? It is up to you to decide, dear reader.
The book is intended for a wide range of lovers of twentieth-century art.
