About Art and Life. Conversations in Between

This book is Irina Alexandrovna's reflections on life, art, and stories about the people close to her: Lydia Delectorskaya and Svyatoslav Richter, Marc Chagall and Alexander Tyshler, Ilya Zilbershtein and Boris Messerer. These texts were recorded during the filming of... the program Fifth Dimension, which the television company A.V. Mitroshenkov AVM Media produced by order of the Culture channel from 2002 to 2020. The author's program Fifth Dimension provided Irina Alexandrovna an opportunity to speak directly to the audience about art, not only about the art and artists of past years but also about current creators and collectors. Fifth Dimension became her dimension, the circle in which her vast world was concentrated. Before you are portraits of masters of the 20th century and Irina Alexandrovna's stories about herself, about her life.
