Efrem Zverkov. THE VIBRATION OF SILENCE

#2 2020 (71)

On the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Efrem Zverkov

An elevated relation to the world, delicate lyricism, poetry and a sense of nature’s harmony are all elements in the art of Efrem Zverkov (1921-2012). The artist’s creative path began during the years of Krushchev’s Thaw. The art of the Shestidesyatniki (the generation of the 1960s) is both an artistic and a cultural-historic phenomenon as the era’s leading painters undoubtedly reflected their personal perspective on the key moments of the period and were able to raise our country’s culture to new heights.
