Graphics by Viktor Khvostenko

Abstract

The article presents a study of graphics by the artist Viktor M. Khvostenko, who lives and works in the Altai Krai. The research material is the works presented at the artist's personal exhibition in April-May 2023 at the State Art Museum of Altai Krai. Viktor Khvostenko is a thoughtful and subtle interpreter of reality who looks at the world with a smile, this is his life and professional credo. He studied with the best representatives of modern satirical drawing. In 1986–1989 he actively collaborated with the editorial offices of the satirical magazines “Crocodile”, “Pepper”, “Chayan”. He worked under the guidance of famous Moscow satirical artists: Evgeny Gurov, Evgeny Shukaev, Joseph Efimovsky. The result of such cooperation was participation in the All-Union Exhibition of Satire and Humor in 1986. More than 40 works of the artist were presented at the personal exhibition “Hello, neighbours!”. These were illustrations to the works of F.M. Dostoevsky, V.M. Shukshin, graphic series “Pay phone”, “Airport”, “Village Bridge”, “Be healthy!”, dedicated to children's themes. A series of drawings by the artist “Village Bridge” was selected by the Interregional Exhibition “Siberia – 13th” (Barnaul, 2023).
