Unrealised illustration for the book Nobody of You Knows Cholin
Viktor Pivovarov's drawings are often small and definitive representations of
of actual oil paintings. But the subject drawing in black ink with white Pivovarov is supremely relaxed, right in the middle of Moscow's absurd underground. It is, in fact, a drawing (in the book, after all unpublished) for Igor Cholin's book: None of You Knows Cholin, which Viktor Pivovarov created based on the texts of his
of his friend, the writer, who portrayed the life of small Moscow people in the book
surrounded by the omnipresent marasmus of the communist era. In this, this work is collectible.
