They are lazy. This explains why we have to push them. But where, in which direction? They are capricious and stubborn, like a child, like a dog pulling in an unknown direction [.]" Alexei Kamensky's debuting monograph was first released in 2003. After his studies at the Surikov Institute in Moscow, the painter needed a long time to «free himself» from student life and to successfully find his own artistic style. This record pictures a manifold and exhaustive development of the artist. Emphasis is placed on all stages of his repertoire, ranging from the objective to the more abstract. Starting with the circus-series revealing his ardour for the circus, continuing with a mysterious voyage to Central Asia displaying women at the bazaar, the joyful pastels of the Crimea-series and soft watercolours depicting a Northern Russia scenery, the volume culminates in abstract oils which date back to the nineties.…

Zürich 2009. 1 Volume/1. -- As New -- hardback 28 x 28 cm . ----- 372 pages with 320 color illustrations. ****************** This publication features the works of the outstanding Russian painter and artist Marlen Spindler (19312003) which he painted in freedom. Soviet prisons and internal exile stole 15 years of his life, but his truly great talent, originality of ideas, creative energy and boundless love of painting were not misspent and resulted in stunning works. Inspired by Old Russian art, he diligently examined and analysed ancient icons and frescoes and studied how the great master icon-painters structured their compositions and developed their range of colour. The signs and symbols he conceived in the early 1960s bring something basic and fundamental to his oeuvre as demonstrated by all the Marlen Spindler works, including depictions of countenances and totems which feature in this publication. The artist's brave ideas, unbridled temperament, total liberation of body and soul and, of course, restricted freedom, give purpose to his artistic fantasies. This publication features a number of Marlen's paintings. The unique and unusually powerful fresco works painted on sackcloth using paints made as in the old days are especially noteworthy, as are the dynamic compositions which conquer us with their colour combinations. They are a triumph of freedom and of his huge strength of will.…

The works published in this book were painted in captivity, this excellent painter having spent eight years of his life in Soviet prisons. Marlen Spindler spent a further seven years in internal exile. The real reasons behind his incarceration were his uncompromising nature and his love of freedom, traits which were incompatible with the Soviet system. In spite of himself, he was ultimately able to reconcile himself to his circumstances and bore no grudge against those who had wronged him. The cruel ways in which totalitarianism manifested itself and humiliated individuals were, for him, always secondary considerations; the one and only purpose in his life was always painting. Regardless of all the limitations placed on him, he continued to paint whilst in captivity. His canvases showed details of prisoners' joyless existence. Cats purred in them. Landscapes sometimes came to life. And, in spite of everything, fl owers blossomed. The works the artists painted in prison diff ered considerably in spirit, style, use of artistic devices, colour range and subject matter from the paintings he painted when free. Marlen Spindler was always unusually sincere in his works. Unfortunately, many of his masterpieces were burnt in the prison furnace, and only a fraction of his works could be saved by being smuggled out.…

His sources of inspiration include Old Russian art, Orthodox shrines and the Russian provinces, untouched by civilisation. The artist visited abandoned monasteries and churches and admired the icon masterpieces and unique frescoes in his attempts to understand the secrets of the old Russian masters' skills.

Zürich 2004. 1 Volume/1. -- as New //Comme Neuf -- Hardcover // Gebuden // Reliure éditeur . 31 x 27 cm . ----- 416 pages with 380 coulours illustrations . ****************** ''' The traditional opposition of warm and cold colours in painting with which the painter used to work, contributed to the idea that the "juncture of the colour difference of a "form couple" shall generate an "explosion"." The first monograph dedicated to the works of Valery Yurlov was published in 2004. This book provides a deep insight into the biography and the repertory of the artist. Valery Yurlov ranks among one of the most essential Russian conceptualists of the second half of the 20th century. He observed various forms that he found in nature and composed his own palette of geometric forms (triangle, circle, drop). This is how his theory of the «para-form» emerged, which he implemented in his paintings, scultpures and installations. Attention in this edition is drawn to explanations of Valery Yurlov's theory, namely to his «para-form»- related scriptures and to an analysis of his works by Dmitry Sarabyanov.…
