"I want people to hear the music in my paintings," says Zinovy Shersher, award-winning Soviet painter, entertainer and composer, who was the first fine artist to combine the passion and mystery of music and art.
His distinctive style and genius, which is a mystical amalgam of spirituality, sensuality, and passion along with his Judaism made him a dangerous force for the Soviets who unsuccessfully tried to silence his art. With a strong, secret, underground cult-following from high-ranking members of the Soviet art and music community, he made his way to America. From there he made history. |
