One of the largest Russian artists of the second half of the twentieth century, Anatoly Zverev is a legendary figure. Coming from a poor peasant family, who never received a formal art education, Zverev led the life of an unmercenary and wanderer.
He never cared about the material side of his existence, and his own paintings, which became priceless during his lifetime, he sold for pennies or simply distributed them.
The current book, compiled by Zverev’s friends, collector Natalya Shmelkova and art restorer Savva Yamshchikov, is the first attempt to comprehend the work and fate of this amazing person.
