including, of course, the works of konenkov. konenkov travels, naturally , to the united states as a person who works, not only as an author presenting his works at an exhibition, but also as a curator of this exhibition. but nevertheless, one of the organizers of the exhibition, igor imanilovich-grabar, returns, but sergei timofeevich remains. he immediately received a sufficient number of orders and did not have time to correct, as he said, the documents in time. and later, after lenin’s death , it was difficult to do this, the orders were very interesting. the fact is that already during the exhibition, kanyunkov received the first order from dr. levin, who was working at that time at the rockfiller institute, one of the most important educational scientific organizations; soon he received an order from the institute of higher studies in princeton, but this already history is connected with albert einstein, he was indeed in immediate demand.

margarita ivanovna just said that when konenkov worked, naturally, commissioned portraits, for money, he needed to live on something, otherwise if he didn’t like the person, he i didn’t like making his portrait, he swore, and she was the translator, she, he spoke a lot, and she translated little, they asked her why mr. kanenkov speaks a lot, and you translate so little, she said that these are the features of russian speech , this is a wonderful memory, wonderful, but let’s go back, let’s go back to this one. a woman to

albert einstein, einstein probably took this photograph, most likely it ’s just the two of them, in new york, in his home in princeton, their first visit sergei timofeevich, margarita ivanovna, again according to legend, let’s treat the perception as a legend, they were photographed by albert einstein, but how did einstein appear on the horizon of the russian emigrant sculptor? very simply, it was an official order from the institute of higher studies in princip, where she worked at that time. again created portraits of einstein’s employees, but this is the very famous one of this institute for some period of time, in fact it was 1935 einstein, but in the center we see a portrait of albert a portrait during work on which this story was born related to the friendship with albert einstein and his family. the fact is that kanenkov had a principle: when he was working on a sculpture, he asked margarita ivanovna to talk to the models.

answered: no, he answered: it can’t be, in any case, these wonderful pieces of paper with einstein’s notes were at one time in the konenok museum, now they are, stored in the archives of the academy of sciences, yeah. there was, of course, no confirmation, let’s just say, okay, yeah, the konenkovs arrived in america, kanenkov receives a huge number of orders, and the most important thing is that he participates in the famous international exhibition in philadelphia, this is very important. in the twenty-sixth year, the americans decided

to create a huge global exhibition that would compete.
