What Connects Them?
From the 'Field of Wonders' series
Lev Pozner is a Russian artist, painter, and postmodernist poet. He was born in Moscow, where he continues to live and work to this day.
Lev Pozner's creative development began in the mid-1960s when he joined the ranks of the artistic underground. After graduating from the Moscow Polygraphic Institute, Pozner started exhibiting alongside Yevgeny Izmaylov and Mikhail Roginsky, participating in apartment exhibitions. During those years, the artist was captivated by nostalgic "retro" — the art of old European masters. Simultaneously, he took an interest in primitive art, folk prints, and kitsch, working with watercolors and tempera on gessoed wooden panels.
In 1975, his works were displayed at the legendary Exhibition of Works by Moscow Artists in the "House of Culture" pavilion at VDNKh. In 1976, Pozner was admitted to the City Committee of Graphic Artists, and in 1982, he joined the Union of Artists of the USSR.
By the late '90s, the artist moved away from romanticism and identified himself as a postmodernist. He began working on series of enigmatic paintings using surrealistic techniques, including "Hidden Faces," "Grass," "Spiegel," "Field of Wonders," "Psychart," and others.
His works are held in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum (New York), the Duke University Museum of Art (Durham, North Carolina, USA), and the Kolodzei Art Foundation (Highland Park, New Jersey, USA).
