Smirnov

Yesterday, the site received a letter from his son Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov - Sergei Nikolayevich. With his permission I publish here the text and take this opportunity once again to thank Sergei Nikolaevich for the help.

My father, Nikolai Smirnov, a professional artist, a member of the Leningrad Union of Soviet Artists (LOSSH) 1898 1942. He died in Leningrad in January 1942goda. His name is memorialized on a plaque in St. Petersburg Union of Artists of Russia, St. Petersburg, Bolshaya Morskaya Str., 38. Unfortunately, all his works were killed during the siege of Leningrad, with the exception of a few journals in which he describes his meeting with Malevich, Petrov-Vodkin, Savinskaya, Brodsky and other artists, and Ermolaeva, under the leadership of which he worked for several years , Christmas, Yudin were very good friends of his, if not friends. Mary B. Kazan was his second wife, the first - Irina Vsevolodovna Meyerhold.

Hopefully, now you can find information, very scarce,

my father, Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov.

Best regards,

Sergey Smirnov
