(1915-1987) - "Vasya - Russian Van Gogh"
A man without a passport, officially mentally ill, Vasily Yakovlevich Sitnikov, nicknamed “Vasya – Russian souvenir”. An artist who was known throughout Moscow in the 60s and 70s. Sitnikov’s paintings are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in prestigious private collections in America, Austria, and England. Hundreds of students, but not a single monograph, not a single personal exhibition.
In Vasily Sitnikov’s paintings, Orthodox architecture took precedence among his favorite objects. He painted monasteries an incredible number of times, on two-meter canvases. Blue domes topped with Orthodox crosses glowed with golden stars. Under the monastery wall there was a colorful crowd of people, personifying the rapid boiling of Soviet-Russian life.
At the final stage of his work, Sitnikov liked to apply numerous snowflakes. With a thin brush, he painted these creations of nature very carefully and painstakingly. If desired, you can even count them. He left the USSR. Lived in Austria, then in the United States - New York. Emigration with “two boiled carrots and a toothbrush in a string bag” was a forced move by the artist, who was considered unreliable by the authorities. Died in New York. Through the efforts of sister Tamara and brother Nikolai, the ashes of Vasily Yakovlevich Sitnikov were transported from the USA to Russia and buried in Moscow, at the Vagankovskoye cemetery.
