Abstract

This article is devoted to the creative work of the nonconformist artist Borukh (Boris Arckadyevich Shteinberg, 1938–2003). His legacy has hardly been studied, and the information about him is mainly found in catalogs, memoirs of friends and colleagues, and exhibition explications. Meanwhile, the work of this artist is a highlight of Russian underground art. Borukh was a multi-talented master: a writer, painter and graphic artist, author of collages and assemblages. The emphasis in the article is on the artist’s original metal works. They represent an important chapter in his creative biography, standing out both against the background of the late Soviet and Russian art and in a wider context. Having a creative relationship with the works of such masters of object art as, for example, Cornell, Arman, and Cesar, Borukh’s metals illustrate the commonality of searches in the art of the second half of the 20th century.
