索麦塞特·毛姆曾经写道:一个具有传奇色彩的人是永生的。苏联画家格拉祖诺夫在20年中制造了许多传奇。美国《新闻周刊》认为他是当代造型艺术中最怪诞的人物,这绝不是轻率的结论。伊里亚·格拉祖诺夫住在莫斯科的新闻工作者之家的旁边。尽管两幢房子相距甚近,却没使它们的主人们亲近起来。格拉祖诺夫对新闻界,至少是对采访他的大部分记者们,抱有批评的态度。新闻界同样也“以牙还牙”,抱怨他那“讨厌的”性格,编造了一些关于他的离奇故事。 Somerset Maugham once wrote: A man of legend is eternal. Soviet painter Glazunov made many legends in 20 years. It is by no means a blunt conclusion that Newsweek in the United States considers him the most grotesque person in contemporary modeling art. Ilya Glazunov lives next to the journalist’s home in Moscow. Although the two houses are close together, they have not brought their owners together. Glazunov was critical of the press, at least for most of the reporters who interviewed him. The press also grudges against his “disgusting” character and creates some bizarre stories about him.
