Nikolai Ionin
St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2006. Sewn cl. Ionin studied with Petrov-Vodkin at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, assimilating Petrov-Vodkin’s sense of color and strong simple imagery. In Ionin’s works of the 1920s landscapes and portraits predominate, in a style that has been called Leningrad Realism. Together with his works of the 1930s and 40s they form a significant part of twentieth-century art history that has not yet been adequately studied, as many of the works have been in private collections—hence the importance of the Russian Museum’s catalogue. Some works show the themes of the period — farming, industry, political demostrations. 166 pp., 9 x 8 ½ ins., 119 color illus., sewn cl., Rus., , Item #4471
