Eugene, with your permission, added to the subject a single article. Recently shoveled old magazines and came across, in my opinion, an interesting paper by Alexander Benois, written immediately after the death of a remarkable artist Boris Grigoriev.
"Spark" in 1990
Boris Grigoriev was born in 1886 in the family control of the Volga-Kama branch commercial bank. He spent his childhood in Rybinsk. After high school, in 1903, entered the Stroganov School in Moscow. From 1907 to 1913 was an auditor of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. Collaborated in zhurnlah "Satyricon", "New Satyricon," Lukomorye, participated in exhibitions, in particular in the exhibition "World of Art".
In 1919 the artist emigrated. Lives in Berlin and Paris. A lot of traveling. Travels to Argentina. Uruguay. Brazil, Central and South America. His solo exhibitions held in Rome. London. Milan. Paris, New York, Boston ... He dies in 1939 in southern France.
Tell about Grigoriev could be detailed in the article, which would list his teacher, identified the sources of his art, marked by periods of development. But we found it interesting to give a word of criticism, which is one of the first "noticed", highlighted the work of Grigoriev, kindly and with interest watched its formation - Alexandre Benois. The little known paper, written in 1939, immediately after the death of the artist, it is enough volume covers all major aspects of Grigor'ev creativity and simultaneously makes it possible to get to know Grigorieva-man.
