Maxim Kantor: Wasteland Atlas

by Maxim Kantor, Ulrike Goschen, Margret Stuffmann (Editor)

In his new cycle of graphic prints, Moscow artist Maxim Kantor sums up his oeuvre to date and devotes his attention to a topic which has been dominating cultural debates in Russia since the time of Peter the Great: Russia torn between East and West, Asia and Europe. Painting scenes from Russian daily life with a strong neo-expressionist gesture, Kantor's work reveals such polarities on every level.
