Grabar, Igor - Photographer and Date Unknown to me
Born in Budapest, Grabar graduated from the department of law at Petersburg University. Following this he turned to art, first studying at the Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts from 1894 to 1896, then Munich, Germany. In his early years Grabar was influenced by the jugendstil and later by impressionism, but his paintings "The Chrysanthema" and "The Uncleared Table" are closer to neoimpressionism. In 1913 - 1925 he was the head of the Tretyakov Gallery.
Grabar was recognized as a People's Artist of the Soviet Union in 1956 for his work in the areas of portrait painting and historical revolutionary themes. He also was a full member of Soviet Academy of Sciences (since 1943). Grabar was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1941.
