Landscape is always a bit of a traveler and Explorer. In a series of

cities, continents, Islands, deserts, lakes and oceans, he finds

alive, nemodulirovannyj and devoid of the Director's vision natural

the beauty of nature. His eyes nicked over the centuries cobblestone pavement becomes

precious diamond, and dried sea winds gnarled tree branches

filled with grace and elegance. Hiding the late afternoon haze beach

Indian ocean, the dome, melting in the midday Inferno Asia: a scattering

bright colors in the caressing cradle of the subtropics or the morning snow

the foothills of the Pamir...

Gugo Manizer is a landscape painter inspired and sincere. His realism

(surprisingly, in the world of modern conventional art someone else writes

realistic landscapes), shadowy and almost unreal, filled with

literalness is not the details, and moods and emotions. His work, whether

exotic images of distant countries or lyrical images of Russian nature,

full of bright and clear sense of beauty. Devoid of any pathos,

underlined symbolism and deliberate showiness, they like open window

before the eyes of the one who looks at them. Window in such ordinary and such

wonderful world, which he saw in his numerous

travel. Like don Quixote, lifting up to heaven his

The beautiful Lady, he became a knight of the exquisite, incomparable

the beauty of the universe, but praised it not with spears and sword, and with

paints and canvas - the only weapon of artists.
