Life

Yuri Annenkow came from a family well known in Russia. Among his ancestors was Pavel Annenkov , the publisher of Pushkin . His father was involved in subversive activities, which is why the family was exiled to Siberia . In 1892 she was able to return to Saint Petersburg .

In 1908 Annenkow began his studies at the St. Petersburg University and attended classes with Marc Chagall in Saweli Seidenberg's studio . From 1909 Annenkow learned from Jan Ciągliński (Russian Jan Franzewitsch Zjonglinski). Between 1909 and 1911 he attended the Central Technical College of Baron Stieglitz.

On Ciągliński's advice, Annenkow went to Paris in 1911, where he worked in the studios of Maurice Denis and Félix Vallotton . After his return to St. Petersburg, Annenkow worked on magazines such as Satyrikon , Teatr i Iskusstwo (“Theater and Art”) and Otetschestwo (“Fatherland”) and worked for various theaters. Annenkow was a member of the stage design union (1917), the art association Welt der Kunst (1922) and the panel painting society (1925).

Maxim Gorki's storybook Samovar , published in 1917, was the first book for which Annenkow worked as an illustrator. He achieved greater fame for this part of his oeuvre a year later with his illustration for Alexander Blok's poem The Twelve , of which three editions appeared in one year. In the following years Annenkow worked on publications of various Petrograd authors (e.g. Michail Kuzmin and Alexei Remisow ). In 1919 Annenkow performed a Tolstoy comedy for which he designed the set.

Annenkow also worked for political mass events on behalf of the Soviet government, for example on the Petrograd Palace Square on the occasion of the second anniversary of the October Revolution . In 1919 and 1920, influenced by the Dada movement , he created a series of abstract sculpture ensembles.

In 1922 he published a portrait volume with 80 pictures of the most important personalities of Soviet art from the years 1906-1921, including Maxim Gorki , Evgeni Zamyatin , Alexei Remisow, Fyodor Sologub , Alexander Blok and Anna Akhmatova . The book also contained essays by Yevgeny Zamyatin and Mikhail Kuzmin. Annenkow was a member of the Mir Iskusstwa artists' association. The First Russian Art Exhibition in Berlin in 1922 showed his painting Forest and his drawing Lesender Mann .

In July 1924 he emigrated to Germany .
