Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev, both a portrait painter and one of Russia's most brilliant graphic artists, was born in Astrakhan in 1878. He studied under Ilya Repin at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. His paintings are generally colorful and festive and celebrate the provincial way of life in Russian cities and villages. He also designed stage and theatrical sets and created interesting illustrations for Russian books and magazines. He found himself confined to a wheelchair in 1916, but continued working in his usual cheerful manner. He died in St. Petersburg (which by that time had been renamed Leningrad) in 1927 at the age of 49. Music is "L'Essence," from the album "Classical Guitar: Variations in Measure."

  • I've only just discovered this artist today. LOVE the work I've seen so far, especially Christovanie (Easter/Pascha greeting).

  • Hello, choosing2lookeast. He's one of many fine Russian artists that I only discovered about a year ago. It's as though they kept them secret for so long, but it was actually my slow art radar that kept missing them.

  • molto bello
