"AN ARTIST ALWAYS TRIES TO EXPRESS FEELINGS AS STRONGLY AS POSSIBLE, AND HE HAS TO BARE THE SOUL FOR THAT. HE RISKS CONSTANTLY THAT THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPIT ON THAT BARED SOUL. THE ARTIST SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID NOR BE ASHAMED OF IT. FOR ME, PERSONALLY, A FORMAL ORIGINALITY NEVER WAS THE PRIMARY GOAL. BUT I ALWAYS TRIED TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF MY CENTURY…"
Vadim Sidur was a painter and sculptor who was at the root of the Russian sculpture of the 20th century. The artist took part in the Great Patriotic War where he was gravely wounded. His work was not be displayed in the USSR during his life, but over 30 exhibitions were held abroad. Sidur’s large-scale sculptures are in different European and American cities. The Museum of Vadim Sidur was opened in 1989 in Moscow.
