Благослови детей и зверей

Anton Kumankov - a graduate of the Moscow Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, a talented and sensitive person, chose portrait painting as the main work of his creative biography. Each work is a whole story of a living being, a person, sometimes a fairy tale with a happy ending, sometimes a drama. The album that you are holding in your hands is dedicated not just to the artist's creative path, but in a broad sense - to children, the attitude of society towards their problems and has a huge educational function. He encourages viewers to think, ask themselves eternal questions about good and evil, and independently find answers in the good paintings of the artist, in the writer's stories, in accompanying articles and illustrations. This album, as, indeed, all the work of Anton Kumankov, pushes the boundaries of worldview, teaches compassion, sympathy, to peer into what we sometimes do not notice, absorbed by the disastrous pace of harsh modernity.
