Renowned animator Yuri Norstein once commented on a book of Alexander Voitsekhovsky’s drawings saying, “Art does not come in the form of a specific medicine, and yet it cures us of meaningless temptations, gives us vital energy, increases our resistance to common infections, raises our spirits, and forces us to laugh at ourselves. I recommend you to follow the prescriptions given by the author of this book, the doctor and artist Alexander Voitsekhovsky.”
Voitsekhovsky’s work has been exhibited all over the world, from the Palace de la Paix at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, to Tokyo, Japan, to many cities in the U.S., Russia and Israel.
Alexander grew up in St. Petersburg, Russia. He began drawing at the age of 18. The young artist gave all of his sketches away to friends. Believing his pictures with sharp-witted captions to be truly unique, his friends secretly organized an exhibition of his work and invited an unsuspecting Alexander to visit it. The immediate success of the exposition put on hold his work as an emergency room physician and psychotherapist. Alexander started traveling the world with his pictures.
