Produktbeschreibung

As a child, Russian born artist Sacha Alkaev had an intense curiosity. Influenced by his mother, a costume designer at the Kirov Ballet, he was educated at the Leningrad School of Art. His first experience as an artist was learning to paint in a politically challenged environment. It was his struggle for freedom. He became a rebel, fascinated by the illusions and meanings of modern art, To avoid being labeled as decadent he tried to do whatever Social Realism demanded: Loyalty to the beliefs of communism. He never forgot the day he quietly watched his mother's partner, also an artist, being chastised by an art commission for not correctly painting Lenin's ear. Sacha was shocked. It was art by committee; perverse and mind-numblng. In time he found a way to escape to the West, to have the freedom to do what he wanted, even as he lacked the experience to find what he was looking for. This is the story of his tumultuous search and the unlikely places it led him.
