Abstract
Zinoviev is clearly not primarily of interest to us as a painter. Yet his readers encounter him first in precisely that guise, since his Russian language publisher, L’Age d’Homme of Lausanne, has chosen to present almost all his books in identical form, with a cover consisting of one of Zinoviev’s paintings in a wide white frame. This uniformity has come to play an important role — it is a sign that Zinoviev’s writings are a single text, a collected works, a continuing analysis. It is regrettable that the formula was varied for Bez illyuzii and Evangelie dlya Ivana.
