Art Discovery Contest - Russia > Michail Vrubel
I would like to introduce a father of Russian symbolism which established canons of symbolic art in the end of 19th century
Being born in mid of 19th century (1856), Michail Vrubel graduated Law Department of St Petersburg University before he discovered his artistic passion and only then he started to study painting. Beside to painting, Michail also studied mosaics and murals, medieval Christian art and modern tendencies.
All his studies had a huge impact on his own creativity and arts, and as a result, now we can enjoy his so different artworks.
Vrubel considered this demon as "a spirit, not so much evil as suffering and sorrowing, but in all that a powerful spirit… a majestic spirit"

Врубель - это прекрасно!
Врубелевские демоны вообше мои самые любимые персонажи в русской живописи.
поэтому когда я увидела конкурс - представить одного живописца вашей страны, у меня не было сомнений кого выбрать.... хотя я знаю кто будет следующим... и кто потом, и еще кто потом
Nice post.. Upvoted and followed
