Dear visitors! Note that the AZ Museum will be closed from April 1 due to the exposition change.
This album presents the most striking works of Anatoly Zverev — female portraits. They display how Zverev in a mysterious way accumulated the whole history of world art — not only the Russian icon-painting tradition and the culture of a portrait of the 18th and 19th centuries, but also the entire variety of the European classics and modernism. «Zverev was the only artist who worked all the way through Western painting, from early Picasso to the present day" — wrote Jean Cocteau about the artist. Zverev himself wrote in his "Treatise on Painting" (1960): «A happy painter is the painter, who outruns his time and races further like a madman, greedily devours with his eyes all forms, new or old, seen in a new way, then digests the forms, gives them back and races further.»
The book became a nominee of the Annual National Competition "The Book of the Year – 2017" in the category "ART-book" (short-list)
By metro
We recommend travelling to Mayakovskaya metro station. The walk to the AZ Museum will take around five minutes. After leaving the station, turn first to the right into the alley, then moving forward, at the first intersection, turn left to 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street. Walk a few meters. AZ Museum will be on your right.
By car
There are paid parking spaces on either side of 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street or in the nearest alleys. Parking is limited, and on weekends and public holidays, the parking lots may be full.
