I have never heard of this sculptor. Means, my fault. He was born in 1935 and is famous for his works in Soviet and modern times. The interesting red brick building, which I 'll show in my next post, is his state museum. "If you plan to go to our museum, do not forget the umbrella, as the exhibits are mostly outdoors", welcoming letter at his personal site warns.
Behind the sculpture you can see secondary school building, recently restored.
The location is Arbat, central and lovely part of the city. Special atmosphere and old buildings charm.
