Beast of Polissia (1935) // Gouache and watercolors on paper
via Saatchi Gallery
Reverse of backside: “On October 15, 1935, I started painting near the Lavra. In January, I had a surgery. I learned from the newspaper that I received a First Degree Diploma and a thousand karbovanets. The doctors congratulated me and made three more surgeries. In seven months I had a device made for 703 karbovanets. I learned how to use it, and now I wear it. A new device will be made for 1908 karbovanets. I continue to paint. M.P. Beast of Polissia”
