7/8/2015 Aleksandr Deyneka ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aleksandr Deyneka From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Deyneka (Russian: Алекса́ндр Алекса́ндрович Дейне́ка; May 20, 1899 – Aleksandr Alexandrovich Deyneka June 12, 1969) was a Soviet Russian painter, graphic artist and sculptor, regarded as one of the most important Russian modernist figurative painters of the first half of the 20th century. His Collective Farmer on a Bicycle (1935) has been described as exemplifying the Social Realist style.[1] Deyneka was born in Kursk[2] and studied at Kharkov Art College (pupil of Alexander Lubimov) and at VKhUTEMAS. He was a founding member of groups such as OST and Oktyabr, and his work gained wide exposure in major exhibitions. His paintings and drawings (the earliest are often monochrome due to the shortage of art supplies) depict genre scenes as well as labour and often sports. Deyneka later began painting monumental works, such as The Defence of Petrograd in Born 20 May 1899 1928, which remains his most iconic painting, and The Kursk, Imperial Russia Battle of Sevastopol in 1942, The Outskirts of Moscow. Died 12 June 1969 (aged 70) November 1941 and The Shot­Down Ace. His mosaics Moscow, USSR are a feature of Mayakovskaya metro station in Moscow. He is in the highest category "1A ­ a world famous artist" in "United Artists Rating". Deyneka is buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow.
