Ivan Miasoiedov

What? - Myasoyedov Ivan Grigorovich

Description

Ivan was born in Kharkiv, he was brought to Poltava when he was seven years old. Ivan lived with his mother in the Pavlenka family estate near Poltava. From 1884 to 1895 he attended a partial art school organized in Poltava by his father. In 1911, after the death of his father, Ivan Grigorovich returned to Poltava. Here, in 1912–1913, he organized posthumous exhibitions of his father's works and the collections he collected, continued to work as an artist and at the same time performed in the circus as a professional wrestler and weightlifter. An extraordinary painter and graphic artist, Ivan entered the history of fine arts as a creator on a mythological theme with deep symbolism, thanks to which he became famous during his life in Western Europe.

When Soviet troops entered Poltava, the museum staff inspected Ivan Myasoyedov's house for his paintings, as he could not take all his works with him. For a long time nothing could be found, but when the searchers knocked on all the walls, in one of them they found a hiding place where paintings and photos were cleverly hidden.

Thus, leaving his father's estate, Ivan Myasoyedov apparently intended to return, leaving valuables here. However, fate decided otherwise: after receiving recognition, the artist stayed in Liechtenstein, where there is still an art gallery in his honor.
