"The Artist's Corner..."


"Driver's Portrait"
Oil on canvas
Vitaly Sergeevich Zolotavin


What I Like About This: A powerfully emotive work by a Soviet era artist which captures the essence of the everyday hero, the worker.  Soundly executed in subdued and overcast tones, this painting nevertheless feels alive and fresh more than 60 years after the scene was captured by its focus on the pride and humanity of this working man.
