Description: The publication addresses the oeuvre of 20th-century avant-garde artist Petr Konchalovsky. The album section includes works, executed in different genres (landscapes, portraits and still-lifes) showing the depth and variety of his oeuvre. Andrei Konchalovsky's article, which is a personal address of a grandson to a grandfather, precedes the album section.

They analyse the thematic variety of his works as well as periods of the artist's interest in nature and subject, works and techniques of old masters: Rembrandt, Titian.
