from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Pawlowitsch Mogilewskij (born December 1, 1885 in Mariupol , Russian Empire ; died 1980 in Moscow ) was a Ukrainian-Russian painter.

Life

Alexander Mogilewskij was a student at the Munich Debschitz School from 1907 , which he attended until 1911, and also a student of Simon Hollósy at his private school. In 1910 he stayed in Italy and in 1912 in Paris. His painting style was influenced by Hans von Marées and later by Henri Matisse . In 1910 he was involved in the second exhibition of the New Artists' Association Munich (NKVM) founded in 1909 , he was accepted as a member in early 1912, but immediately got caught up in the vortex of resignations around the Blue Rider . August Macke and Franz Marc considered inviting him to an exhibition in mid-1912. In 1913 Herwarth Walden showed six works by Mogilewski in the First German Autumn Salon in Berlin : The Comet , The Roses , Landscape , Landscape with Two Figures , By the Stream and Still Life .

When war broke out in 1914, he returned to Russia. In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, he moved to Moscow in 1920 . There he could only work as a book illustrator for the next few decades. The templates were created using watercolors or pen drawings; they were used to illustrate books by more than seventy Soviet authors. A self-creative artistic activity was limited to bookplates .

Pictures by Mogilevsky are in St. Petersburg and in Russian provincial museums. His painting Harvest , which the Szczecin City Museum acquired in 1912 , was taken down as Degenerate Art in 1937 and is considered destroyed.
