Alexander Labas. Echoes of Hiroshima
A creator of utopian industrial landscapes depicts the horrors of the American bombing of Hiroshima.
Most of the watercolors in this series, dedicated to the bombing of Hiroshima, are on display for the first time. Why, during the height of celebrations for a 1957 youth festival in Moscow, did Labas turn to the horrors of nuclear conflict, which in his depiction is reminiscent of Goya's "Disasters of War"?
