Life

Andrejew, son of a carpenter , graduated from the Stroganow School for Art and Industry in Moscow from 1885-1891 and studied at the Moscow Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture with Sergei Michailowitsch Wolnuchin from 1892-1901 . Andreyev was greatly influenced by Paolo Troubetzkoy . In 1904 he became a member of the Peredwischniki . From 1913 he worked as a set designer.

Andreev's early work followed the academic tradition and dealt with social issues. For 1899-1905 by William Walcot and Lev Nikolayevich Kekuschew built Hotel Metropol Andreyev made the seasons - Fries on. 1904–1909, together with the architect Fjodor Ossipowitsch Schechtel, he created the Gogol monument with the bronze figure of the seated Gogol on a granite plinth surrounded by a bronze relief with the heroes of Gogol, based on the model of the Krylow monument to Peter Clodt von Jürgensburg in St. Petersburg Summer Garden . The monument stood at the end of the Pretschistenski Bulwar (now Gogolewski Bulwar) until 1952, when it had to make way for a new Gogol monument by the sculptor Nikolai Wassiljewitsch Tomski and finally it was erected in the courtyard of the Gogol Museum on Nikitsky Bulwar. In 1909 the monument to the Holy Doctor of Moscow Friedrich Joseph Haass (Maly Kasjonny Pereulok) was built.

After the October Revolution , Andreyev took part in the implementation of Lenin's program of monumental propaganda . 1918-1919 he erected the monument to the Soviet constitution on the Sovetskaya (Tverskaya) Ploshchad, which was torn down in 1941 and replaced in 1954 by a Yuri Dolgoruki monument by Sergei Mikhailovich Orlov . He created the monument to Alexander Iwanowitsch Herzen and Nikolai Platonowitsch Ogarjow on the Sparrow Hills (1918–1922). In the early 1920s he produced numerous portraits of Lenin (around 100 busts and 200 graphics ). The Führer Lenin (1931–1932, marble ) was made by Andreev's brother WA Andreev. Andrejew created a large number of other portraits, including Anatoli Wassiljewitsch Lunatscharski , Maxim Gorki , Konstantin Sergejewitsch Stanislawski , Michael Chekhov , Fyodor Ivanovich Chalyapin and Nikolai Konstantinowitsch Kolzow (1921–1922, Tretyakov Gallery ). Andreev's portrait of Josef Stalin , which Stalin himself labeled and criticized, last showed him with pockmarks and a crooked arm (1922). 1926–1929 Andreyev created the Ostrowski monument (again together with Schechtel) on the Teatralnaya Ploschtschad in front of the Maly Theater .

Andrejew made stage sets for the Moscow Art Theater , including George Gordon Byron's Cain (1920) and Gogol's Auditor (1921). In 1923 Andreyev took part in setting up the All-Russian Agricultural, Crafts and Industrial Exhibition .
