Alek Rapoport
Alek Rapoport was a Russian Nonconformist artist, art theorist and teacher.
The last five years of Rapoports life were spent in voluntary seclusion. He did not endure emigration easily. What a pathetic life, everything repeats itself, he said, quoting from the letters of Albrecht Drer, another artist who saw himself as born in the wrong place and time.
