W. B. Amokow is an artist. He is the creator of the
sculpture of an medical orderly,
still standing in the sanatorium, near the entrance, in front
of the men sanatorium, in honour of the „heroes of the Soviet
Union”. „Eternal glory for the heroes and the dead, who were
killed for the freedom and the independence of our home
country” reads the inscription on the pedestal of the about 4
metres high statue. A further work of Amokow is probably the
concrete relief
"mother and child", which is situated in the
area of the clinic- and health park today.
Among art of carving Amokow made also
graphic arts,
applications and
illustrations, poems for children, fairytales,
sketches and aphorisms. His work as a national artist is
stamped by the relation to his
home country Burjatia.
„The Soviet art is rich in imagination and realism. In the
extensive country, in the consciousness of the people old and
new Metaphors live on. Artistic statements interpret the
history and the life of the people often in wonderful,
exciting images. ... Amokow’s sculptures and relief’s are
effective by their rich ornamental rhythm. Connections of life
and development were reflected in imaginative pictures. Also
qualities and attitudes, which people have in very special or
elementary situations, constitute a motif. ... A concrete
artistic idea is always connected with further moral standards.”
Wally Poltiniak has written 1980 on the occasion of an
exhibition to Amokow’s artistic work in Potsdam.
