Moroccan tarboosh Elli JUreva.
I have met artist Elli Jurevym in 1967. In number
Six tourists from Chuvashiya, thirsting adventures, we have appeared
With it onboard turboelektrohoda "Baltic" which went from
Leningrad in cruise over the countries of Europe and the Western Africa. More
That, we have lodged with Elli in one cabin, and this circumstance
Definitively podruzhilo us on for the rest of the life.
The cabin for it was only a place for a short dream. All
He spent the rest of the time on a deck. More correctly - worked.
When floated by the Scandinavian coast, sensitive to
Perfect the artist that is called, baldel from the unique
Beauty behind a board. Every day its folder replenished all with the new
Jobs. It were etudes and sketches from nature.
Even in the seven-point storm North Sea, when the absolute
The majority of tourists was in "lezhke", Elli did not leave with
Album. Then I "assisted" it. Rolling was so
Strong, that water colour paints to me should be held in hands.
"The funny case waited for us in Paris. Having thrown suitcases with
Belongings in hotel "п я п п п?п?п?", despite weariness (500 km from
Port Havre through Rouen to Paris went by bus) and tiresome
Drizzle, we have gone to walk on an evening city.
Time was later, fountains at bottom have before our eyes fallen
Tour d'Eiffel. Illumination of "the iron lady" also has at once gone out. Have solved
To go on Pigal - the most "lascivious" street of night Paris.
Despite a bad weather, idle public was much. Around
The illuminated signs raged. It also has involved ours with Elli
Attention. As always, on a shoulder under a jacket at me hung
The camera. I have not had time to make and five shots as to us has run up
Become slightly tight the spindle-legs and, striving to pull out my "Zenith", about something
Has cried. It is not known, than this incident would end, but from
The "international" scandal we were rescued by the trained feet. And on
The next day we from the guide have learnt, that on Pigal to conduct a photo-and
The tourist-gawk without ceremony is considered filming impudent employment, and
Can run into a weighty fist of any souteneur.
Elli was the person of the big erudition. In Denmark our bus rolled
To "Hamlet lock". The way lay through so-called "Azure
Coast ". On one party - the sea, on another - very nice
Cottages, round which well-groomed lawns with an abundance of colours.
The guide by means of a microphone conducted the interesting historical story.
And here Elli it is unexpected for all has addressed to the guide:
- Madam Lucy, show, please, a country house where lives Herluf
Bidstrup.
- And who it such? - The question has followed.
- Bidstrup - the known Danish artist political
Caricatures, - has confoundedly explained Elli a little.
For excitement on cheeks of madam Lucy there was an appreciable flush.
- The young man, you have puzzled me, - she has responded. - I
Such artist I do not know.
- Bidstrup co-operates in the newspaper "Land og folk". In the such
To the small country as yours, it is bad not to know the
Celebrities, - my friend with a guilty smile has told.
JUrev was very sociable and opened. For example, it one of
The few among tourists who has struck up acquaintance with the captain
"Baltic". Time and again rose on the captain's bridge, drank coffee in
To its cabin. The Swedish customs officer has suggested Elli to try on
The uniform cap. The mayor of the city of Shampini has kindly handed over to it
The card.
Comfortably felt JUrev and in Africa. Moroccan
The dealer, having learnt, that it from the Union, has presented to it a bright red tarboosh
(A national headdress). And Senegalese umeltsy-handicraftsmen
Have allowed Elli to take in hands the tool and to try though
Something to cut out on black or mahogany.
JUrev was keen nature. Did not like in vain to waste time.
That as a sponge absorbed on travel the new information, that, not
Unbending backs, as hours worked, forgetting about all on light.
Before calling in the largest port of Canary Islands -
He has suddenly solved Las Palmas in musical salon of a vessel
To organise the exhibition. And kruiznyh jobs by then at
It it was typed enough. All night long I was at it in assistants.
And in the morning having a rest public of "Baltic", having seen paraded
Exposition, has gasped with amazement. That not expecting, JUrev
It has appeared in epicentre of general attention.
"It is unusual to write in last time about this hardworking,
Trustful, cheerful, at times the naughty person. As it is a lot of
Elli Mihajlovich was in time in the not such a long life! And how much
Still would make, if has not brought heart ".
