East Joins West THROUGH ART
|
In 1991, Peter Robson was extended an official invitation from the then Soviet Union to visit and work with internationally known artist, Igor Soldatenkov, in Moscow and honoured artist, Albin Gavdzinsky, in Odessa, Ukraine. This was an exciting precedent for a Canadian artist to be invited not only to paint in Russia but to exhibit his works there as well. The book, EAST JOINS WEST THROUGH ART was produced as a result of this trip - chronicling these experiences in both Russia and the Ukraine and the the art work of all three artists.
Peter spoke at the Moscow State Art Institute and sixteen pieces of his work were acquired by a Russian museum of art for their permanent collection. |
