Back in the Soviet Union you had these Худсовет – “Khudsovet”, artistic committees. They were the party gatekeepers that determined which art was safe and which was not. They opened and shut doors. But then on January 4, 1987, along with Sergey Arto and several others, we formed the very first independent union of artists in the Soviet Union. It was an unbelievable accomplishment in an oppressive Soviet system. I created the logo for this union. I was inspired by the drawings of an ancient caveman. He was free to draw from his heart. No one told him what to do and no one was keeping his art from being displayed for other cave dwellers to see. The systems may differ, but there are gatekeepers today that make sure art is safe and politically correct. There are investors and influencers. There are interest groups and art critics. Thus this drawing of a caveman still serves as the symbol of creative freedom. It is an uninhibited expression of art in its raw form. SDG
