On Thursday, I eventually made it to the Ilyia Beshkov
Gallery in Pleven. The gallery was easily
found – in an imposing building and quiet imposing area. It was midday when I
got there – I was the only visitor and it was quite freezing! So cold that the
3 curators shut themselves in the small room and left me to my own devices for
almost an hour – with the lighting on and my able to photograph to my heart’s
content. About 50 of Beshkov’s large sketches; half a dozen large sculptures some of which were Angel Spassov but most (I now realise) were Marko Markov's!; a Mkrkchvika, Mitov, Tsonev, Boris Denev, and Stefan Ivanov
I think the seated lady is a Kiril Tsonev - unfortunately I got a bit confused in my scribbling on the catalogue - which turned out to show the work of Hristo Boyadjiev (1912-2001)
I am also confused about this one below - is it Stefan Ivanov?
No doubt about this one - it's Boris Denev!
