Such a long life. Sculptor notes: essays. Zhaustenetsky G.D.

You are a book of memoirs of the famous St. Petersburg sculptor, People's Artist of Russia, Honored Worker of Culture of Poland, a real member of the Russian Academy of Arts Grigory Danilovich Zhastrebenetsky. Today the author is ninety -five. In his notes, he appears as a subtle observer, summing up the results of his own many years of work, reflecting on the problems of creativity and vicissitudes of fate, analyzing his pedagogical experience. And all this is in an accessible form of a witty trust. The memories of the war, the blockade, the stories about colleagues - fellow practitioners at the Repin Institute, who did not live to see the day of victory, and whose talents remained unrealized are worth.
