Description
Seva (Vsevolod) Nekrasov (1934-2009) was the youngest and probably the most talented of the generation of poets and artists grouped around Lianozovo – one of the earliest and most important centers for underground culture in the Soviet Union. His entire life was closely connected with the arts and the artists of “unofficial Moscow,” and his poetry often reflected upon the visual works of his friends. And vice versa, artists found inspiration in his poetry, and produced works clearly based on his verses . This exhibition, entitled Seva’s Blue Horizon (which is a rough translation of an anagram: Sevina Sineva) commemorates through poetry and art the entire generation of early Soviet underground culture that is now vanishing by the day.
