Life

Ettinger completed a commercial degree at the German commercial faculty of the Polytechnic in Riga , which he graduated with a diploma in 1887. He then began to work as a banker in Moscow. At the same time he dealt with art objects and in 1903 became an art critic for the daily Vedomosti . He wrote articles for various European art magazines, for example from 1904 to 1922 for the London magazine The Studio (for which he worked as a Moscow correspondent), in 1904 for the Russian magazines Мир искусства Mir iskusstva and 1905 Весы Vesy , 1907 to 1914 for Die Art , 1909 to 1930 for the Cicerone or article for the General Lexicon of Fine Artists from Antiquity to the Present .

He conducted extensive correspondence with well-known artists and cultural workers from all over Europe, including Marc Chagall .

He is considered one of the first collectors of posters . In 2012, his collection of posters was exhibited in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. He was interested in the history of graphics. Ettinger contributed to the spread of Polish art in Russian society by, among other things, establishing contacts between Polish and Russian collectors. His collection also included an extensive library with around 11,000 volumes with works on Polish literature and art or from the field of book decoration. Numerous articles on art and bookplate research that he wrote have been published by German, French, Polish, Russian and Czech publishers. His collection also includes Russian art from 1910 to 1930. It is owned by the Museum for Private Collections in Moscow. Ettinger had determined in his will that his collection should be donated to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. It consists of more than 12,000 works, most of which are located in several departments of the museum in the graphics exhibition. As early as 1934, Ettinger donated his collection of Polish posters from the late 19th and early 20th centuries to the State Museum for New Western Art.
