Борис Орлов. Пусть будет так

A reflection on the fate of an artist in the context of his time. A deeply personal first-person account of life in art, friendship, and creativity from the 1950s to the present day. 

In the year of his 85th birthday, Boris Orlov — a classic of Russian contemporary art — recalls his childhood, his student years at the Stroganov School alongside his classmates, his fascination with existentialism and Renaissance art, perestroika and his return from America, the landmark exhibitions in Moscow's new museums and galleries in the 1990s, and a major retrospective in Vienna.
