Four Essays

This collection of essays, prepared by two contributors, Slava Polishchuk (an artist) and Grigory Starikovsky (a writer) explores the creative drives of Vincent Van Gogh, Mark Rothko, Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth. This book is an attempt to grasp art as a combination of forces which validate and, coincidentally, obliterate an artist's universe.
