MIKHAIL VRUBEL’ (1856-1910)
Mikhail VrubeF was a pioneer of Modernism in Russian art. His
extremely imnovative technique broke with the
tradition of the Academy
of Arts, St. Peterburg, where he was a brilliant student. At the same time he
felt dissociated from the social ideals of the Wanderers. He remained a
loney figure in Russian art. He did not tiy to achieve monumentality which
was the aim of most of the painters.
Vrubel’ was an infant prodigy. He was fond of music and drawing.
The year of his graduation from St. Peterburg University in 1880, Vrubel
entered the Academy of Arts. His talent was esteemed by Valentine Serov
and his creative method was developed under the influence of Pavel
Chistyakov.
In Kiev in the 12-th century church of St. Cyril Vrubel’ not only
created his masterpieces of the religious painting, but worked out his style.
In the Byzantine mosaics of St. Sofia in Kiev
he found the same divided
colours and surfaces that fascinated him in St. Peterburg.
In 1889 Vrubel’ moved to Moscow, where the range of his activity
windened due to the backing of Savva Mamontov, the patron of Russian
art. Vrubel’s stage designs for Mamontov’s private operas were centar in
his work.
Vrubel’s monumental style was ideally suited to wall decoration for
a new Art Nouveau parlours in Moscow. He produced
Venice, Spain, the
tripych
Judgement of Paris for the house of E.D. Dunker in 1903-4.
