Tatarnikov Seraph A. (1907, Belev, Tula Province. - 1987, Mariupol)
A painter, graphic artist.
He studied at the Leningrad Institute of proletarian art (from 1933), which was sent to IV Michurin as an employee of Selection and Genetics station behalf IV Michurin, who has shown great aptitude for artistic case (Michurinsk - former Kozlov). He fought on the Leningrad front, made lots of sketches of life at the front. In besieged Leningrad lost his wife, remarried in 1960 to Olga Mikhalenko (born in Mariupol), who shared with him lessons in painting. After the war he lived and worked in Leningrad, then changed several places of residence. Recent years have lived in Mariupol (1984-1987), the home of his wife. Lyric in his work and life, he wrote poetry. Exhibitions. Until the last days he was friendly with his classmate - a famous artist Benjamin Cipero (1907-1980). Creativity of the artist still had not been adequately evaluated and has not been investigated. I would be grateful to all who help make up for "white spots" biography of a talented artist.

I would like to introduce you to a family photo of the artist in 1928 (standing in the middle). On the reverse side - the poems of Seraphim. Also you the card, to meet future artist with poems dedicated to his beloved Margot and his pictures. And finally, the direction of the Leningrad Institute of proletarian art (the so-called short-lived Academy of Art.) With the signature of the academic Michurin. Interestingly, all these papers I found in a secret compartment, equipped with an artist in an old set of drawing the 19 th century a few years after the tragic death of the widow of CAT She was killed by his own son (stepson of the artist). But ... this is a separate issue. Unfortunately, not all the archives and the work could be retained.
I appeal to you to a broker in search of any materials relating to Tatarnikova Seraphim Anatolyevich. The site has a meager data Tatarnikova biography of the sculptor Nina Anatolyevna, born-5.1.1913 -? Thesis in the CVC - Nurse Petrov, score - mediocre. Education was held at the sculpture department. Awarded the title of artist-sculptor. Maybe on my photo one of the sisters is NA? Maybe in St. Petersburg have relatives of the artist.
 Questions, questions ... I hope for your help, forum!
Later, other data and will place the work of the artist.
