The author of the famous Red Door, the artist with a great pictorial talent and strong individuality, nowadays Mikhail Roginsky (1931–2004) occupies one of the key places in the history of art of the second half of the twentieth century. In her book, Olga Yushkova analyses his practice, aesthetics, and experiments. Roginsky began his career as a theatre artist. He worked in provincial theatres for only six years, but this experience was key in determining his later development as an artist. At that time his special attitude to simple household items was formed, the artist saw in them not an ordinary object, but a character of sorts, the protagonist of the work.
