Portrait of Boris Pasternak
etching
30 x 22cm

Footnote
Boris Pasternak (1890-1960) is best know for his seminal novel Dr Zhivago. Seen as anti-communist by the Soviet authorities, publication was denied in the USSR. The manuscript had to be smuggled to Italy for publication in 1957 which further enraged the authorities. Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize the following year but was told he would not be allowed to return to Russia if he travelled to accept it and thus refused the award.
