Anatoly Zverev (1931–1986) was a legend in the Moscow art circles of the second half of the 20th century. His life and work became an original illustration of the myth of the vagabond— "a genius capable of creating a masterpiece with a sweep of the hand…" This exhibition features Zverev's artworks from the 1950s to the mid-1980s, courtesy of the Kolodzei Art Foundation.
