The travel is designed for year, every month you can get acquainted with one of the sculptures of Sergei Konenkov.

The first meeting will introduce participants of the project with a "Sculptor" (1964, tree) - the most recent and unusual self-portrait of the master.

In 1964 Sergey Timofeevich turned 90 years old. He conceived the work as a kind of result of creativity as an opportunity to say a word about the masters who devoted their life to their favorite occupation. The sculptor has created a "Sculptor" in the tree - a material that he loved for its beauty, unique plastic possibilities, for their ability to convey the innermost feelings. This work can be seen today in a small room on the second floor of the S. T. Konenkov Museum of Sculpture in Smolensk.
