"The photos are a bit unsuccessful too." In the Bykhov District Executive Committee, they explained why the sculpture for the Year of the Woman has such a strange face

From the reception of the district executive committee, the journalist was redirected to Deputy Chairman Alexander Saksonov, after which the following dialogue took place:

— I read the news about the unveiling of the sculpture in Bykhov, looked at the photos — and, frankly, I was shocked. This monument looks very strange, especially the woman's face looks somehow as if after a stroke. How could such an ugly monument be installed? Is this some kind of surprise from the artist?

— No, there are significant remarks, and they will be corrected by the end of this week. We talked with the artist. Well, such a situation occurred, let's say, not entirely correct...

— So you also didn't see what it would look like before the canvas was removed?

— How to explain this to you correctly... Well, there are shortcomings. We will correct this by the end of the week.

— I honestly thought, maybe this is modern art.

— No, this is not modern art. Here, the photos are a bit unsuccessful too (the angle, of course, plays a big role in many ways). But there are nuances, definitely there are. We received feedback, and today we went to the site again with the sculptor, pointed out all these shortcomings that do not correspond, so by the end of the week he must correct everything.

— You know, from those photos it looks like the woman had a stroke.

— No, well, yes, as I said, the photos are unsuccessful. And supposedly these are our photos. Not everything is so bad [in reality], not everything is so critical...

— Was it also like that on the sketch? Was such a sketch really approved?

— No, no. Everything was fine with the sketch. There was a slight change: it was from ordinary stone, here it's granite, so the colors also played out a bit differently. Well, and the situation itself is that there was an incline, a turn of the head, and here it's the artist's oversight that he immediately placed the cheek on the shoulder. And it turns out, from this angle it simply looks a bit distorted. That's why I say that expert commissions have already left today. <…> The place is good, and the park, and they developed it, and added additional lighting, we will bring more benches. There will be four landscaping photo zones made according to the seasons of the year. So the park has been put in order, everything is fine. And regarding the sculpture, of course... We will finalize it. Everything will be fine.
