Anatoly Kaplan

The book dedicated to Anatoly Kaplan presents not only the work of one of the remarkable artists of the 20th century, but also the collection of Isaac and Lyudmila Kushnir. The emergence of new private collections ? a feature of time, a characteristic sign of the changes taking place in modern Russian society. The interests of collectors, as a rule, cover wide time layers, reflect the creative portraits of many artists. Monographic collections are much less common. Such collections are not formed by chance, ? they always correspond to the deep aesthetic preferences of the owner, his ambitions, but, most importantly, the desire to understand something important about the artist, "about time and about yourself."
