KANEVSKY ABANDONS 40 MILLION PAINTING COMMISSION PROJECT. THIS IS THE FIRST DRAWN FIGURE THAT KANEVSKY HAS DONE FOR THE GIANT FRESCO PAINTING ON THE WALL OF PRIVATE CITY IN SWITZERLAND ALEXANDER: "FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT IT WOULD TAKE 270 GIANT FIGURES LIKE THIS. PAINTING 'A FRESCO' GIVES NO TIME TO DELAY, NOR EXPERIMENT. WITH CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF ASSISTANTS TO COMPLETE THE WORK WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME AT LEAST 2 YEARS. WITHOUT ASSISTANTS MIGHT HAVE TAKEN ME 4 OR 5 WITHOUT LEAVING THE SITE. UNFORTUNATELY IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS I COULD NOT FIND EVEN ONE ASSISTANT WHO COULD FIT FOR THE JOB. I HAVE INTERVIEWED OVER 200 PROFESSIONAL PAINTERS. THEREWITHALL I HAD TO STEP OUT OF THIS PROJECT." ALEXANDER KANEVSKY DRAWING "PERSEUS ATTACKED BY MEDUSA"
