In ММОМА has opened the exhibition of the classic of Russian minimalism Alexander Yulikov

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA) opened a retrospective of the classic of Russian minimalism, painter and book graphics of Alexander Yulikov.

After going through numerous "isms", Alexander Yulikov (born 1943) stopped at geometrical abstraction. It was on this "classic" period of the artist that the curator of the project, Andrei Erofeev, concentrated. A participant in the legendary exhibitions in the pavilion "Beekeeping" at VDNKh and Izmaylovsky Park, Yulikov was one of the first to turn to geometric abstraction, rethinking the icon of Suprematism - "The Black Square" by Kazimir Malevich. The main quality of painting for him was the lack of a narrative in it: "For me, in visual art, what is important and interesting is that it is impossible to convey at the verbal level. Everything that can be told about, does not convey the essence of art and is just as meaningless as the retelling of music. "
