Well done Olga. I wasn't very impressed with his stuff, Apart from "Rain" which gets more and more interesting the longer you stare at it.

Back to the obscure Russians?
That's it... it's back to hermetic American Minimalist installation artists next time up.

The "Ashcan School" were OK... but I only really liked Bellows (who handled paint in a bravura manner unlike any other American painter of the period) and Robert Henri (not to mention Edward Hopper... who is something else altogether).
OK... our new mystery painting:

No idea - but those red boots look like handmade bespoke boots by Anello and Davide. When I was in my twenties, and despite being broke, I bought several pairs of those - in exactly that colour, with Cuban heels - and they took me through a joyous, ambitious and turbulent decade of my life, which I still think of as the Red Boot Years.
Say it ain't so...
Red lipstick you sport in your avatar is one thing but red boots???
How are we supposed to picture you as a "curmudgeon" now?

"It is not that I am mad; it is only that my head is different from yours.”

The red boots chimed perfectly with the blue-streaked black hair, the eyeliner and the dangly silver earring.
Curmudgeons do not spring fully-formed into being at fifty. They develop gradually from bright, optimistic, carefree Alice Cooper fans crushed by the vagaries of opportunities unfulfilled and made bitter by the removal of their vital organs at the hands of faithless women.
....Er.
I expect.
Our artist was well respected for his work in illustration... especially children's books. He was knighted. One of his children is actually far better known within the art world than he... being a respected Modernist.
