On occasion of the 100th anniversary since the birth of the artist.
Timed to the 100th year since the birth of artist Alexander Dmitrievich Tikhomirov, the catalogue featuring the works of the artist has come out into the light.

All texts are accompanied by an English translation.
The first catalogue is dedicated to the artistic heritage of the artist and includes a vast section of articles – about the life journey of the artist (written by I. Krupnitskaya), presented in hand with photographs from the family archive, as well as academic art history research on the creative path of the artist and his artistic method (written by I. Reshetnikova and I. Rustamova).
The publication is in major part the catalogue, in which full-colour reproductions of the artist’s most vivid, key works of art, reflecting most fully the multi-faceted nature of his work, are presented. Enlarged fragments accompany most of the reproductions, which allows the observer to see in detail the scenarios playing out in the multi-figural compositions, as well as the artistic layers of the canvases.
This is followed by the academic section of the catalogue, in which small, colour reproductions of paintings, presented in a chronological order from early to later works, are displayed. Each work presented in this section is accompanied by a detailed description informing the location of the work, a list of exhibitions, and related literature. 222 works of art are featured in this catalogue.
The second catalogue has been created by analogy to the first, and is dedicated to the graphic works of the artist. Three art history essays about the artist’s work are presented in the article section (written by A. Tolstoy, V. Byalik, and G. Ostrovky). The artwork section features the main graphic series, accompanied by reproductions of fragments of the compositions. 380 reproductions are presented in this section.
