Life

Kravchenko was the son of the traffic engineer Nikofor Pavlovich Kravchenko, who moved frequently with his family and in 1921 settled in the dacha village of Svyatozhino on the outskirts of Kiev . At school, the young Kravchenko followed the drawing lessons of VJ Ryabchevsky, who was a pupil of Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin , particularly eagerly . He drew a lot and his drawings were exhibited. The father went to Moscow with his twelve-year-old son and looked for and found an art training position in NI Kravchenko's studio. But since the father could not find work in Moscow, they had to return to Svyatozhino. In 1925 the young Kravchenko graduated from the seven-year school. In 1927 he went to the preparatory course at the Kiev Art Institute. He also studied with Ivan Fyodorovich Selesnjow , a student of Pavel Petrovich Tschistjakows .

As Kravchenko rejected the Kiev Art Institute, he went to Leningrad in 1928 to complete his artistic training . He was close to the writer Nikolai Alexejewitsch Kljujew , who influenced him strongly and advised him to add the prefix Jar (gorge) to his name. In 1935 Yar-Kravchenko went to Sochi to see Nikolai Alexejewitsch Ostrowski to make a portrait of him . This is the only true-to-life Ostrowski portrait. Yar-Kravchenko graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture with Isaak Israilewitsch Brodski in 1939. He painted very little. His best-known painting is Maxim Gorky , who reads his story The Girl and Death on October 11, 1931, Stalin , Molotov and Voroshilov (1940).

After the beginning of the German-Soviet War , Yar-Kravchenko joined the Red Army as a volunteer in July 1941 and served in the Air Force. He camouflaged airfields, defended Leningrad during the Leningrad blockade , flew as a rifle radio operator in dive bombers and drew for the army newspaper Ataka , so that his drawings of war heroes and everyday urban life appeared in almost every issue. Front albums with his drawings were given to excellent pilots and flight units. His portraits of the heroes of the Soviet Union appeared on postcards .

Yar-Kravchenko created the portraits of over 300 Soviet writers. In 1947 his separate graphic album appeared with a gallery of Soviet writers. He also drew portraits of foreign writers, such as Theodore Dreiser , O. Henry and Rabindranath Tagore . He created graphic portraits of Stalin, including Stalin in a coffin . His portraits of Khrushchev and Gagarin graced the stands of the Lenin Mausoleum at the celebration of Gagarin's return from space flight in 1961. Many of his portraits appeared on postage stamps and envelopes of the USSR Post . 1972–1977, Yar-Kravchenko headed the Philatelic All-Union Society as successor to Ernst Theodorowitsch Krenkels .
