This Labas reminds me of LS Lowry, his contemporary, and whose work Alexander obviously didn’t know

Another magical Labas, sleepy melancholy on the backdrop of technical progress
Airfield in the morning, 1928, Tretyakov State Gallery

Alexander Labas created his illusionary world of fragility and hope that came with technical progress of the start of the XX century
Dirigible in the evening,1932, Tretyakov State Gallery

Yuriy Zlotnikov, a genius practically isolated from the world art context and the Russian avant-garde heritage created his signaling system in 50-60s of XX century. Intuitive response to computer sciences booming in those years

This 1963 piece is not a kind of work Erik Bukatov is known for but it clearly shows the influence of his true mentor Robert Falk, an artist that links Bulatov’s generation to the Russian avant garde of the early XX century. Enjoyed this painting at the exhibition in Galeev Gallery in Moscow today
