EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Boris Pasternak, the renowned Russian poet and novelist, in Peredelkino, USSR in 1952. Pasternak's legacy extends far beyond his homeland as he is best known internationally as the author of the monumental novel Doctor Zhivago, which was published in 1957. However, within Russia, he holds an esteemed position primarily for his poetry. His collection of poems titled My Sister Life (1917) is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of Russian poetry in the 20th century. The photograph showcases Pasternak's profile with a focus on his face and head. It offers a glimpse into the soulful expression that characterized this literary genius. As a male figure who dedicated his life to literature and writing, Pasternak's occupation as an author shines through this image. Taken during the mid-20th century by an unknown photographer from Pushkin-House Institute of Russian Literature archives, this monochrome portrait exudes a sense of timelessness. It serves as a testament to Pasternak's profound impact on both Russian and global literature. With its fine art quality and historical significance, this print stands not only as a visual representation but also as a tribute to Boris Pasternak’s immense contribution to poetry and prose alike.
