The Last Ship
The Artist's Final Painting.
It remains secured on the easel in the artist's studio. This painting is a premonition of the end of the earthly journey. Started in 2021, six months before his passing. A premonition that he will soon depart.
The ship sailed to its new home, without a sail, and the mast turned into a cross. The ship collided with the doors of the last sanctuary, where, after passing through the red judgment, it will find repose. And the red line on the right side like a gangway. And there is no other path from the ship.
Six months before painting the piece, the artist writes a message:
In a month, I'll turn 75, and on the side wall of the shed, I wrote this message... It's my message to family and friends. Three little birds of hope watch my ship, but the ship's mast is already broken, and on the torn sail, there is a GREAT poem by Marina Tsvetaeva (in my English interpretation).
Oh, how many of them fell into this abyss,
spread out in the distance!
The day will come when I will disappear
from the surface of the earth.
Everything that sang and fought,
shone and was torn.
And the color of my eyes, and my voice,
and gray hair.
And there will be life with its daily bread,
with the forgetfulness of the day.
And everything will be, as if under the sky
and I was not.
...
"To all of you that strangers and mine"
...
I am demanding faith and asking for love
Уж сколько их упало в эту бездну,
Разверстую вдали!
Настанет день, когда и я исчезну
С поверхности земли.
Застынет всё, что пело и боролось,
Сияло и рвалось.
И зелень глаз моих, и нежный голос,
И золото волос.
И будет жизнь с её насущным хлебом,
С забывчивостью дня.
И будет всё — как будто бы под небом
И не было меня!
...
«Всем вам, чужим и моим»
...
Я обращаюсь с требованьем веры
И с просьбой о любви.
