Item description from seller

74 S. Rücken gebräunt, umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Bildband. Text auf englisch, italienisch und russisch. - To the Soviet public Mikhail Koulakov belongs to that strange phenomenon commonly known as the "phantom artist." Indeed, his drawings were reproduced in newspapers and his paintings appeared briefly in a few group exhibitions. In intellectual circles, primarily in Leningrad, he enjoyed a certain fame, while however it seemed that the artist did not really exist. He was not cited by the critics, and the general public never had the opportunity of seeing his paintings included in the vast number of official exhibitions, much less in one-man exhibitions. The artist existed but he was never seen, especially after his departure for Italy in 1976. The same destiny befell many "non-conformist" artists such as Kabakov, Bulatov, Rabin. It is incorrect to speak of integrity and validity of the artistic process when an entire segment is excluded; indeed, no living being which is mutilated can aspire to a healthy development. About the late 1980s the so-called "phantom art" began to be replaced by an art which sought its own directions and investigations. Having surpassed the period of prohibition, it remains the responsibility of the work of art itself to define "who's who" in art according to individual style. The work of Mikhail Koulakov is still seeking a place in the artistic life of the country. Thus, this retrospective exhibition is not only a first encounter with something already known, but in a certain sense it represents the completion of the general panorama of the art of our time.
