A handwritten drawing of the "Cat"

Joseph Brodsky is a Russian and American poet, essayist, playwright and translator, teacher. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987, poet laureate of the United States in 1991-1992.#nbsp;

In the drawing presented in the Stargift collection, the poet depicted a cat —
animals occupied a significant place in the poet's biography. In Brodsky's letters to friends, on books presented to him, there are many drawings of cats made by the poet himself, he often depicts himself as a red cat.

History has preserved the names of some of Brodsky's cats. His friends remember that in Leningrad he had a Cat in White Boots. Later, he had a red—haired cat, nicknamed Big Red (Big Red). After the death of this cat, Joseph Brodsky put his picture in a frame and put it on the table in the apartment in New York on Morton Street, where he lived at that time.

Joseph Brodsky was a talented draughtsman, his style of painting is akin to Pushkin's: mostly sketches with a pen, sometimes colorful pictures with crayons. Joseph Alexandrovich drew, as a rule, casually: on the margins of manuscripts, on the title pages of notes, on scraps of notebook pages, in letters to friends and relatives, sometimes replacing the text with drawings.

The exhibit comes from the collection of Vera Rosenzweig, a girl from the pedagogical institute, in a romantic relationship with whom the famous poet was. Rosenzweig was the owner of a notebook with drawings for a long time, after her death in 1989, the notebook remained with her friend and was kept in her family for a long time. The sketches themselves were viewed by the curator of drawings and diaries at the I. Brodsky Museum in St. Petersburg, part of whose collection they could become.
