The Renaissance Society is the final stop for this travelling exhibition organized by Kunsthalle Zurich. Twenty-one large-scale paintings by one of the U.S.S.R.’s first generation of painters to create “unofficial” works of art. Bulatov’s paintings—lush, poetic realism overlaid with wry, existential words and phrases—symbolize the Soviet citizenry’s continuing romance with their people and their country, balanced against a growing disdain for their government.
