The composition of the picture Glazunov “Russia, wake up”
Picture “Russia, wake up!” is deeply permeated with tragedy. Once in an interview Ilya Glazunov mentioned that he is a tragic pessimist, because an optimist is a poorly informed pessimist. But, however, with the exhibitions of Glazunov millions of spectators endure a huge energy charge that helps them live and believe in Russia. On the accursed question of our time – “What to do?” – the artist gives his answers: “Believe and fight, God is with us!” The
