Anatoly Krynsky Fine Art - Commentary

Brief Excerpts of Commentary:
"And, his own, distinctively Constructivist style has evolved over the past 20 years.. Paintings from the early 1980s are most expressionist in execution.  Colors are mainly primaries, badly, if never indiscriminately, rendered.  Largish stretches of roiling, rippling brushwork show the parkland almost breathing fire, no matter how idyllic the setting." continue reading...

"Dream-like art in its effect, but unlike a dream in the severity of the rules of the total artist: I think of his art as an ordered phantasmagoria.  Surrounded by Anatoly's art, I have always seemed to hear the distant music of one great symphonic composition." continue reading....

Gaither Stewart, correspondent in Italy for the Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblag, has written widely on European culture and reported for many years on East Europe for many European publications.

"There are some things he is not.  He is not a self-indulgent natural genius whose every daub transcends criticism.  He is not trendy.  He is not Pop, nor anything like it; he is not a man of the 90s, in the usual sense." continue reading....

Henry Vermillion is a painter.  He was born in Texas and now lives in Mexico.   He has been a regular contributor of art criticism to various American and Mexican newspapers.

"Mr. Krynsky relentlessly continues artistic search and experimentation, creating abstract works, delving into Suprematism, Cubo-Futurism and Expressionism. In his series 'The Man and the City' created in Moscow, Mr. Krynsky interprets a person as part of a mechanism, stressing the tragedy of human existence in a world of technological progress." continue reading....

Lucien Ficks is a Senior Editor of the "Voice of America" in Washington, D.C. and contributing art columnist for the New York's Russian Daily "Novoye Russkoye Slovo."

"Anatoly Krynsky again demonstrates that art is the kingdom of freedom that must discipline itself in order not to degenerate into anarchy, because the “aesthetic message” is not the tumultuous reflection of a more or less fascinating situation but the concrete signification of the individual who wants to dialogue poetically with others." continue reading....

"The talent and genius of Mr. Krynsky is rooted in nearly half a century of total dedication of his endeavor in creative art. A disciple of the noted Boris Kosarev and Vasily Ermilov and inspired by his great countryman Alexander Archipenko, who like him chose America as a new home." continue reading....

"Mr. Krynsky was a victim of the 1976 purge which saw up to 100 of the brightest Soviet artistic lights expelled.   He had applied for an exit visa and was promptly fired from his job.  His unemployment lasted six months until he was eventually allowed to leave.  About forty dissident Soviet artists took up residence in New York; another thirty now live in Paris." continue reading....
