What was he like - the now famous and unrecognized artist, persecuted during his lifetime, Anatoly Zverev, who managed to combine the Russian avant-garde with modern art and whom Pablo Picasso called the best Russian draftsman? How did he live and create in the cosmos of world art of timeless significance? How did this extraordinary man know how to create masterpieces on plain paper, with cheap watercolors, using a broom, beets, cigarette butts, and a toothbrush as a brush? All this will be told on the pages of the book by the artist’s contemporaries - collector G. Kostaki, composer and conductor I. Markevich, art critic Z. Popova-Plevako and others. The book is illustrated with unique works of the artist and rare photographs.
