LEV TCHISTOVSKY (Lev Chistovsky) Art Works of Russian Figurative Painter (HD)

[Brilliant Repair hacks,] @3minutehacks Today we are going to look at Lev Tchistovsky, who was a Russian figurative painter who specialized in feminine figures. He first trained at the Fine Arts School in Saint Petersburg, where he was a pupil of Savinsky and Eberling. He was awarded the title of Art Laureate of his school. He left the USSR in 1925 and took classes at the Fine Arts School in Roma and after in Florence. He met Irena Klestova in Venice, in his late twenties. She was also a pupil at Saint-Petersburg’s Fine Arts School, and she was already exhibiting her paintings at the Salon des Independents in Paris. Lev Tchistovsky settled in Paris in Montparnasse’s district and married Irena. In his studio on Impasse du Rouet, he rubbed shoulders with Andre Breton and Tamara de Lempicka. As a member of the Salon des Independents in 1930, Lev Tchistovsky was exhibited there regularly. His portraits and feminine figures constituted the majority of his artworks. Throughout his entire career, he was inspired by mythology and passionate about icons. Lev Tchistovsky was preparing, just before he died, a publication about the techniques used to produce icons. The classic realism of his works depicted the erotism and sensuality of the women of his time.
