This is the first book about Mikhail Shemyakin in Russian. The author, A.Petryakov, a well-known Saint-Petersburg writer and artist, acquaints the readers not only with the story of a complicated life, speaking about the known and unknown fact from his biography, but also makes a versatile analysis of many of his works. The author compares Art history of the twentieth century in Russia and in the West countries, because the creative career of the Master is connected with unrecognized in the Soviet age avant-garde or so called nonconformist art as well as with the modern western culture.
The readers will get to know about the likings and habits of Shemyakin, about his uncompromising struggle for the spiritual purity of the modern art as well as get acquainted with the history of creation of his monuments in St.Petersburg, Moscow, London, New York, Venice and other cities and also with the history of staging in Mariin theatre.
