Portraits
Vadim (lives!)
Pavel Nikolayevich Rusanov
Friedrich Federau
Aleksei Filippovich Shulubin
Oleg Filimonovich Kostoglotov
These are all small 8" x 10" portraits of some of the characters in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's book Cancer Ward (the same book I used for the background of Aleksandr's portrait). I was originally going to make eleven portraits to coincide with the eleven patients in Cancer Ward, (which also happens to be the number of years Aleksandr spent in labor camps and the number of flowers I made for exactly that reason) but I ran short on time after having quite a few complications... so there may be more of these to come.
Each portrait is ink, oil, and newspaper on wood panel. 8" x 10"
