About the artist: Alexander Schwartz was born on February 19, 1945 in the family of the composer Lev Schwartz and the artist Nadezhda Snezhko-Blotskaya; nephew of animation director Alexandra Snezhko-Blotskaya. Sergei Prokofiev, Mikhail Svetlov, Alexander Vertinsky with his family, Mark Donskoy, Isaac Dunaevsky, Paul Robson visited the parents' house [1].
At the age of ten, he began to study drawing and painting in the studio of Vera Tarasova, in whose house he also used a large library with books on Russian art and literature, including publications of Russian futurism and constructivism that were inaccessible at that time [1].
After his father's death in 1962, he began working as a stage worker and entered the art and production department of the Moscow Art Theater School, from which he graduated in 1969. He was assigned to work at the M. Gorky Film Studio and worked there until 1971. After that he became a freelance artist and since 1972 he participated in exhibitions of nonconformist artists, well-known at that time, in the semi-basement exhibition hall of the Moscow United Committee of Graphic Artists at 28 Malaya Gruzinskaya Street. In the year of his father's death, he also began to study jazz as an amateur musician; he was strongly influenced by the protest youth counterculture of the 1960s – 1970s [1].
Detachment from fashion trends in art contributed to the fact that Schwartz began working as an icon painter at the Gift Fund of the Moscow Patriarchate and became interested in studying the perspective and color technique of old Russian masters. Having visited the Far East and the Kuril Islands in 1980, Schwartz took up the painting technique and philosophy of the East, but at the same time he was no stranger to experiments with installations, collages and other visual means [1].
Since 1975, Schwartz's paintings began to be bought abroad, and since 1985 he began to exhibit abroad permanently. In Moscow, he also constantly participated in exhibitions, showed performances in which he performed not only as an artist, but also as a music author and performer. In the mid-1990s, he took part in organizing the Bunker music club [1].
Since 1993 he began working in two- and three-dimensional computer graphics [1].
The author of the cover of the conceptual album of David Tukhmanov "In the wake of my memory" (1976) [2].
