A master of Russian stage design. A member of the "World of Art" school.

He was also the first Russian painter to create harmony on stage, taking charge of the sets, costumes, and props. Other notable works after the revolution include "The Marriage of Figaro" (1927) for the Moscow Art Theatre, among others. He has also painted many portraits. [Sato Kyoko]
