Rome, a Fragment Vladimir Sitnikov; Kiel; 2005 Author: Nikolai Gogol Artist: Vladimir Sitnikov Printer: Thomas Siemon, edition carpe plumbum, Leipzig & Umtriebpresse, Kiel Binder: Vladimir Sitnikov Contact: vladisitnikov@yahoo.de Bi-lingual text (German, Russian), 28 pages with 17 illustrations, edition of 50. Relief printed on Hahnemëhle Echt-Bëtten paper. Nikolai Wassiljewitsch Gogol (1809 - 1852) published the beginning of his novella Rome in a literary journal in 1842. Thereafter he worked exclusively on his novel Dead Souls and so there were no further installments. "My book," says Vladimir Sitnikov, "takes up the challenge of bringing an uncompleted work, a fragment, to completion by giving it artistic form. The suggested magazine format, however, leaves open the possibility of future installments." Born in Moscow in 1958, Vladimir Sitnikov is a painter, graphic artist, and book artist who has participated in more than 100 group and 30 individual exhibits at home and abroad. He has lived in Germany for the past ten years. | |||
