Vizantiiskaia viza: zhivopis' Gleba Bogomolova / The Byzantine Viza Solo Exhibition by Gleb Bogomolov
St. Petersburg: Erarta, 2017. Sewn pb. Unofficial art in Leningrad came out of the closet at two momentous exhibitions in the mid-1970s at the Gaz Palace of Culture and the Nevskii Palace of Culture: GLEB Bogomolov had works at both exhibitions, and in the 1980s was part of the artists' circle Comradeship of Experimental Art (Tovarishchestvo eksperimental'nogo iskusstva). A year after his death in 2016 Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art in St. Petersburg exhibited paintings from the early 2000s that illustrate one of the sources of the artist's inspiration: Byzantine art. Painted canvases seem have texture and body like mosaics, and spare portraits connote icons and their antecedents in ancient Greek art. 47 p., 22 cm, approx. 40 color illus., Rus. and ENGLISH. Item #2804
