Boris Kosatkin: zhivopis’ iz rossiiskikh muzeev i chastnykh sobranii (Boris Kosatkin: paintings from museums and private collections in the Russian Federation)
Moscow: In Artibus, 2015. Sewn pb. Kosatkin's painting cannot be pigeonholed. He was expelled from the artists’ Union in the 1980s—his work was too different from the conventions of Soviet official art. Nor did he find a place among the nonconformist or conceptualist circles of the late Soviet period. The style of his works from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and recent years has its own virtuosity: he seems to hint at beauty instead of depicting it. This catalogue of an exhibition publishes still-life paintings, portraits, nudes, and landscapes, which together show the spectrum of his works over the last half century. 207 p., cm, approx. 200 color illus., Rus. with title page and afterword in ENGLISH.
