Boris Chetkov, Russian Modernist [first edition]

With the publication of Boris Chetkov: Across All Barriers, The Pushkin Group continues with the fifth in its series of titles introducing outstanding and unknown Russian artists of the second half of the 20th century. Fortunately, Boris Chetkov did not suffer the almost total oblivion that was the lot of his predecessors. He is recognized as the leading modernist of late twentieth century in Russian art. A native of St. Petersburg, his works have been exhibited in Germany, Russia, and the United States and are in major collections worldwide. With the forward by Dr. Albert Kostenevich (Keeper of Impressionist Paintings at the Hermitage) and the text by Dr. Alexander Borovsky (Head of Contemporary Art at the State Russian Museum) this richly illustrated monograph containing 242 pages with 215 color plates will be a valuable addition to your collection.
