Pavel Filonov is one of the most mysterious artists of the 20th century. Filonov's contemporaries - Malevich, Kandinsky, Tatlin - are known throughout the world, not only among art historians, but also to ordinary people who are superficially interested in art. How did it happen that an artist of no lesser stature, who created an absolutely unique style in painting, was almost unknown for decades? How did an artist who practically "reassembled" art end up being overlooked?
