Preserving art, freedom, and human dignity in the age of the
totalitarian state was one of the great challenges of the twentieth
century. In Centaur, Slavic scholar Albert Leong chronicles the
life and work of the greatest living Russian sculptor and
philosopher of art. Based on extensive research in the formerly
closed Soviet archives, exclusive interviews with Neizvestny, his
family, and friends, Centaur tells the amazing story of a visionary
artist and World War II commando officer who narrowly escaped death
on the battlefield, successfully defied Stalin, Khrushchev,
Brezhnev, and the KGB to create acclaimed works of monumental art.
Forced into exile to the West in 1976, Ernst Neizvestny returned in
triumph to the Soviet Union in 1989 to design the first monuments
in Russia to the countless victims of Stalinist political
repression. Supplemented by 75 photographs, Centaur will engross
specialists and general readers interested in biography, cultural
history, art, architecture, politics, and Russian/Soviet studies.
