Miniature Book: Mysteries

Golubov would take these small paintings and paste them into sketchbooks, which he then called “Miniature Books”, sometimes assigning them themes such as “Wanderers”, “Mysteries”, “Soul’s Journey” etc. Like the ancient books, rather than being exhibited, they would simply be passed around to guests at the many dinners and social evenings that took place in his home. While these miniatures sometimes inspired large paintings, Golubov considered them important works unto themselves and continued to work at this scale throughout the entirety of his life.
