Life

Ryabushinsky was the fifth son of the old-believing businessman Pavel Mikhailovich Ryabushinsky . His mother Alexandra Stepanovna was the daughter of the rich grain merchant Stepan Tarasowitsch Ovssjannikow, who was sentenced to loss of freedom in 1874 for setting fire to a competitor. Ryabushinsky graduated from the Moscow Academy of Applied Commerce. In contrast to his older brothers, he did not join his father's family business, but instead sold his share in the family business after his father's death in 1899 and lived on his fortune to devote himself to art and literature .

From 1906 to 1909 Ryabuschinski published the art magazine Goldenes Vlies , with which he promoted the Mir Iskusstwa and the exchange of new ideas. With his orientation towards Giotto di Bondone , William Shakespeare and Johann Sebastian Bach , he positioned himself between realistic symbolism and religious experience. In 1907 he organized an art exhibition for the new symbolist group Blue Rose founded by Pawel Warfolomejewitsch Kuznetsov in 1907 , of which he became a member. The exhibition took place in the house of the porcelain manufacturer Matwei Sidorowitsch Kuznetsov . Further exhibitions followed. Ryabushinsky dedicated an issue of his magazine to the art collection of Pyotr Ivanovich Shchukin . Like his brother Michail, he also built a collection of contemporary Russian and French paintings . He painted himself, taking advice from Sergei Arsenjewitsch Vinogradov . He supported painters and ordered portraits from contemporary writers from them . Thus creating Konstantin Somov 's portrait of Alexander Blok and Mikhail Vrubel 's portrait of Valery Bryusov .

Ryabushinsky Villa Black Swan

In Moscow's Petrowski Park next to the Petrovsk Palace , Ryabushinsky had the extravagant neoclassical Black Swan villa built with exotic furnishings by the architects Vladimir Dmitrijewitsch Adamowitsch and Wladimir Matwejewitsch Majat (1907–1910).

In 1909, Rjabuschinski's funds were exhausted, so that in 1911 he had to auction part of his art collection, mainly works by old masters. He sold his small collection of icons to Alexei Wikulowitsch Morozov . His villa was devastated by fire in 1914, so that many valuable works of art were lost. He published several volumes of poetry under the pseudonym N. Schinski . In 1916 he visited New York and then settled in St. Petersburg . After the October Revolution he emigrated to France in 1922 . In Nice he opened the antique shop La Rose bleue .
