This exhibition consists of twenty-three original works by Mikhail Magaril, including painting, relief, sculpture, graphic works and collages that reflect the main theme of his work; namely, the traumatic experience of an atmosphere of fear in the Stalinist USSR as seen through the eyes of a child. For Magaril, the artistic process is a way to overcome fear and horror. The use of irony, laughter and mockery help to debunk the "greatness" and "holiness" of tyrants of the past and present.
