from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

Leonid Brümmer was born in the Ukrainian city ​​of Cherson, which was part of the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century, as the son of a man of German origin and a mother allegedly of French origin. In 1915 he moved from the art school in Kiev to the Imperial Painting Academy in Saint Petersburg to professor Dubowski. The turmoil of the October Revolution prevented Leonid Brümmer from finishing his studies and he began a wandering life. Brümmer worked in the cities of Kiev, Yalta , Oryol , on the Crimean peninsula and in the Caucasian Nalchik . Leonid Brümmer was deported as an ethnic German to the Pavlodar area in the northeast of the Kazakh SSR during World War II . There he lived his life in complete obscurity and was unable to sell his paintings. He dreamed of his own museum - a wish that only came true after his death. Rehabilitated by the new government in 1955, Leonid Brümmer died in poverty in an old people's home in the southern Kazakh city of Jambul (now Taras) in the mid-1970s.

In his last hometown, Taras, the LWBrümmer Museum opened in 2000 with the support of the German Embassy in Kazakhstan, where it exhibits over 1000 of his paintings. More pictures by Brümmer can be found in the Kherson Regional Art Museum and in the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in Kiev.
