At the same time, he developed a parallel artistic life rooted in conceptual and satirical experimentation, far from the official art world. This dual existence eventually positioned him as the founder and leading voice of Moscow Conceptualism, an unofficial art movement that emerged in the 1960s–1980s. In the late 1980s, Kabakov emigrated to the West, first to Austria and then to the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eKabakov began working with Detskiy Mir and Detgiz in the late 1950s, creating beautiful illustrations for children’s books. \u003cem\u003eHow man conquered the sea\u003c\/em\u003e shows several examples of Kabakov boldly experimenting with colors: yellow skies and seas, pastel pink ships and castles, bright red wheels and turbines. His use of unfamiliar colors on familiar imagery in educational literature creates an experience more memorable than an ordinary picture would; that can also be seen in his pictures for Permyak’s other book \u003cem\u003eSkaz pro gaz [The story of gas]\u003c\/em\u003e (1960). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eDon't be alarmed by the name '\u003cem\u003eTolya\u003c\/em\u003e', a shortened version of Anatoly, in the artist's signature.
