Boris Grigoriev
Boris Grigoriev was a Russian painter, draftsman, engraver, and writer associated with the School of Paris. He was born in Rybinsk in 1886 and studied from 1903 to 1907 at the Stroganov School in Moscow before continuing his training at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg under Alexandre Kisselev (1838-1911), Dmitri Kardovski (1866-1943), and Abram Arkhipov (1862-1930). From 1909, he participated in several avant-garde exhibitions and, in 1913, joined the Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) movement, of which he became one of the major figures.
Between 1916 and 1918, the painter created the series entitled Raseïa (Russia), dedicated to the Russian peasant world. This collection was praised by the critic Alexandre Benois (1870-1960), helped establish the artist's reputation, and remains one of the most emblematic achievements of his career. After the Russian Revolution, Boris Grigoriev secretly left Russia in 1919 and stayed successively in Finland, Berlin, and then Paris, where he settled permanently in 1921.
In Paris, he attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière before pursuing an international career that took him notably to the United States as well as Central and South America. During his numerous travels, he held several solo exhibitions and developed a body of work deeply marked by his observation of the populations and landscapes he discovered.
Boris Grigoriev's work occupies an important place in 20th-century Russian art. He is particularly recognized for his psychological portraits, including those of Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966), Fyodor Chaliapin (1873-1938), Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943), and Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947). He also produced numerous landscapes, genre scenes, and compositions inspired by his travels in Europe and the American continent.
Boris Grigoriev's works are today preserved in numerous public collections, including the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires.
Boris Grigoriev passed away in Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1939.
