Zoya Lerman's son, Alexandr Lutskevich

Artist Alexandr Lutskevich, my son, who was born in 1960. this photo was taken at the Versailles palace in France, in 2000. I was a graduate when our son Alexandr was born. There was too little space in our apartment for all of us. I was assigned to work at school and I received a one-room apartment from this school. Yura also worked. I was raising our son and kept working. We worked at school at first and then at the Art Institute. But soon we quit teaching, as we both took to creative work. The authorities provided us with an art shop and my son spent a lot of his time there when he grew older. Of course, he took to drawing as well. He graduated from the Art school in Kiev and then studied at the Art Institute. He had several exhibitions. He worked in Denmark and then, recently, in London. He painted landscapes and portraits. He often goes on tours. Alexandr speaks fluent English and a little bit of Danish and German. My son is married to a Jew, and they have a son named Zhenechka who goes to primary school. He is 8 years old. He doesn't want to draw yet. He liked to draw when he was younger, and we have kept some of his paintings from that time.
