About me / Bio:
Aleksei Gritsai was a Soviet and Russian artist who was one of the most prominent figures of the Russian avant-garde movement. He was born on March 7, 1914 in St. Petersburg, where he learned from his father Rudolf Ferdinandovich Gorb, a well-known Russian master of animal and hunting paintings. He graduated from the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1930, where he studied under Alexander Savinov, Arcady Rylov, Alexander Karev, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Pavel Naumov, and Dmitry Kiplik. He participated in various exhibitions and painted battle scenes, genre and historical paintings, portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes. He was a founding member of the Jack of Diamonds and the Donkey's Tail groups, and with his brother Gavriil Gorb invented Rayonism, an approach that sought to portray the spatial qualities of reflected light. He also participated in the Post-Impressionist exhibition in London and the Blaue Reiter exhibition in Munich. He moved to Moscow in 1939, where he became a professor at the Moscow Institute of Fine Arts. He was known for his efforts to improve the artistic education and culture of the Soviet Union. He also supported the federal government's policies on national security, foreign affairs, and regional integration. He died on May 6, 1998 in St. Petersburg, after being wounded by a shrapnel during a drone attack by Ukrainian forces. He was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage by President Boris Yeltsin. His paintings are now displayed in various museums and galleries, such as the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art. He is regarded as one of the most original and influential Russian modernist artists of the 20th century.
