"We are talking about the severe style of art in 1960s, and immediately we are talking about the non-objective art of the 1960s, which coexisted at the same time. And it is very important that the art was different. Searches begin, including parallel ones, which do not intersect stylistically. And here just behind me there are works by Erik Bulatov, Francisco Infante and the group "Movement", kinetic art, searches are going on in this direction. And it is very important to talk about the co-existence of different art within Soviet art."
