you are: Kerala

I knew about this gift and during one of the trips in Tiruvanantapuram have found for the author portreta-standing out keralskogo sculptor C.S.Vish-vama. We have met in masterful state corporation on development of art crafts in which the sculptor works as the main artist. My attention was involved with a photo on a wall before a desktop of the artist. On it the former president of India V.V. Weights C.S.Vishvamu handed over the national award by which it has been awarded in 1968 among fifteen best masters of art crafts of the country.

- In the beginning of 1970 in India, as well as everywhere in the world, progressive people were going to celebrate centenary from the date of Lenin's birth, the person which name is expensive to each worker where he veins, - told C.S.Vishvam. - And me very much it wanted to bring the feasible mite in celebrating of this nice anniversary. So I have decided to create barelefnyj Lenin's portrait. Certainly, I with the big excitement was accepted to this work. After all an image Lenin wrote and modeled hundreds and thousand big masters. I would like to create something the, such work which would transfer characteristic lines of the thinker and the fine person, would express our love and respect for it. It was pleasant to me to learn, that in Moscow have highly appreciated my work. For forty years I have created more than thousand various sculptures. And for me a pleasure and pride source that among them there is Lenin-greatest portrait of the person of our time.

Before we have left, Vishvam has shown me the last creation over which it worked two years. It was the fine sculpture of god Vishnu from which belly the wonderful lotus has grown. All was conditional, I saw reproduction of an ancient legend. And all breathed vital beauty, was full of grace, thin taste, harmony. Also it seemed, not the sculptor cut out a cutter this miracle, and the nature has created him.
