Linking Image and Idea: The Artwork of Oleg Sokolov

The artistic heritage of Oleg Sokolov, Ukrainian artist and poet, is reviewed by his widow, Elena Shelestova. She focusses on his experiments, begun in the 1950s, with the visualization of music and poetry—not on the level of traditional illustration, but rather on that of synthesizing different artistic forms and genres on the basis of a united rhythmic pattern of spatial and temporal structures found by intuition.
