Dust Jacket Worn, With Tears And Small Losses. Boris Mikhaylovich Kustodiev (Бори́с Миха́йлович Кусто́диев; 1878 -1927) Was A Russian Empire And Soviet Painter And Stage Designer…. From 1896 To 1903, He Attended Ilya Repin's Studio At The Imperial Academy Of Arts In St. Petersburg. Concurrently, He Took Classes In Sculpture Under Dmitry Stelletsky And In Etching Under Vasiliy Mate. He First Exhibited In 1896. When Repin Was Commissioned To Paint A Large-Scale Canvas To Commemorate The 100Th Anniversary Of The State Council, He Invited Kustodiev To Be His Assistant. He Visited France And Spain On A Grant From The Imperial Academy Of Arts In 1904. Also In 1904, He Attended The Private Studio Of René Ménard In Paris. After That He Traveled To Spain, Then, In 1907, To Italy, And In 1909 He Visited Austria And Germany, And Again France And Italy. After Five Months In France He Returned To Russia". He Contributed To The Satirical Journals Zhupel (Bugbear) And Adskaya Pochta (Hell's Mail). At That Time, He First Met The Artists Of Mir Iskusstva (World Of Art), The Group Of Innovative Russian Artists. He Joined Their Association In 1910 And Subsequently Took Part In All Their Exhibitions. In 1905, Kustodiev First Turned To Book Illustrating. He Illustrated Many Works Of Classical Russian Literature, Including Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls, The Carriage, And The Overcoat; Mikhail Lermontov's The Lay Of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, His Young Oprichnik And The Stouthearted Merchant Kalashnikov; And Leo Tolstoy's How The Devil Stole The Peasants Hunk Of Bread And The Candle. In 1909, He Was Elected Into Imperial Academy Of Arts. His Tuberculosis Of The Spine Required Urgent Attention, And On The Advice Of His Doctors He Went To Switzerland, Where He Spent A Year Undergoing Treatment In A Private Clinic. In 1916, He Became Paraplegic. In The First Years After The Russian Revolution Of 1917 The Artist Worked With Great Inspiration In Various Fields. Contemporary Themes Became The Basis For His Work, Being Embodied In Drawings For Calendars And Book Covers, And In Illustrations And Sketches Of Street Decorations, As Well As Some Portraits (Portrait Of Countess Grabowska). His Covers For The Journals The Red Cornfield And Red Panorama Attracted Attention Because Of Their Vividness And The Sharpness Of Their Subject Matter. Kustodiev Also Worked In Lithography, Illustrating Works By Nekrasov. His Illustrations For Leskov's Stories The Darner And Lady Macbeth Of The Mtsensk District Were Landmarks In The History Of Russian Book Designing, So Well Did They Correspond To The Literary Images. The Artist Was Also Interested In Designing Stage Scenery. He First Started Work In The Theatre In 1911, When He Designed The Sets For Alexander Ostrovsky's An Ardent Heart. Such Was His Success That Further Orders Came Pouring In. In 1913, He Designed The Sets And Costumes For The Death Of Pazukhin At The Moscow Art Theatre. His Talent In This Sphere Was Especially Apparent In His Work For Ostrovsky's Plays; It's A Family Affair, A Stroke Of Luck, Wolves And Sheep, And The Storm. The Milieu Of Ostrovsky's Plays—Provincial Life And The World Of The Merchant Class—Was Close To Kustodiev's Own Genre Paintings, And He Worked Easily And Quickly On The Stage Sets.In 1923, Kustodiev Joined The Association Of Artists Of Revolutionary Russia. He Continued To Paint, Make Engravings, Illustrate Books, And Design For The Theater Up Until His Death.
