Artist biography
Glazunov Ilya, whose paintings are now familiar to many not only in Russia but also abroad, was born in Leningrad in 1930, on June 10th. When the Great Patriotic War began, he was in a besieged city. The boy, one of the family, survived the blockade, all relatives died. He was taken along the Road of Life, which passed through Lake Ladoga, when he was 12 years old.
After the blockade was lifted, the teenager returned to his hometown in 1944. He graduated from the Secondary Art School, and then the Repin Institute.
In 1956 Glazunov got married. In 1957, the first exhibition of his work was held, which was a great success. The artist's exhibition of 1977 was closed by the authorities because of the painting "Roads of War", which allegedly contradicted Soviet ideology. On herthe retreat of the Soviet troops was depicted. The picture was destroyed, but there is an author's copy, which Glazunov painted later.

The Last Bus (1955), painted at that time, allows you to visually transport yourself back to that time. We see that twilight has gathered outside the vehicle window. Time after midnight. There are 3 women on the last bus. One of them is a conductor, she makes notes in a notebook about the number of tickets sold. After all, before, before and after the war, a ticket could only be bought on the bus from the conductor, who was usually employed by women. She vigilantly watched that everyone handed over the money for the fare, gave tickets in exchange for them.
The girl in the front seat is sad, she is thinking about something else. Perhaps she quarreled with her beloved that evening, or she is tormented by other sad thoughts.
The woman in the last seat must have been shopping all day. Now she is returning home with shopping. The woman is tired, she yawns and wants to sleep.
