BORIS CHETKOV (Russian, b. 1926) On the Olympus, 1992 Acrylic on canvas 38 x 39 inches (96.5 x 99.1 cm) Signed, titled, and dated verso in Cyrillic PROVENANCE: Pushkin Collection, acquired directly from the artist "The dream state is transitional, borderline, uniting 'both shores of life,' as Russian philosopher Pavel Florensky so elegantly put it. The interpretation of dreams is an ancient profession, with traditions that pass through shamanism and that have been taken up and made relevant by all versions of psychoanalysis." Dr. Alexander Borovsky - Chetkov, Across All Barriers
