A long time. Meetings and memories

Mikhail Vasilievich Nesterov survived two peaks in his creative biography - recognition as one of the first religious artists of the turn of the century and as one of the best portraitors, the classic of Soviet art of the pre -war pore. In addition, he was no less gifted as a writer. No, Nesterov did not write Romanov and artistic stories. In the declining years, he released a book of memoirs under the general name "old days". And those who read it will surely agree with the statement that the artist Nesterov wrote in a word no less beautiful than paints. The memoirs of M.V. Nesterov are not a chronological description of his whole life, but the history of feelings, impressions, searches, the history of meetings and precious human proximity, reflection on the fate of contemporaries and the fate of art. And the spiritual world of the author, through which, as through a wonderful prism, we are given the opportunity to look into long-standing days. Understand, join, save in your soul
