Russian painter, set designer, photographer, and designer. Born in St. Petersburg. Studied at the Kazan Art School, he made his debut with abstract composition paintings in the late 1910s, creating an extremely colorful and rich aesthetic world. From 1920 to 1930, he taught the next generation in Moscow, but during that time he was active in many fields. In the 1920s, he created many posters that are still famous today (such as for the film Battleship Potemkin), and also left behind unique work in book design. He also worked in a variety of fields as a set designer for theater and film, and as a photographer, he worked on photomontages, and produced excellent works in this field as well. In the 1930s, he took portraits of celebrities in addition to artistic photographs. He died in Moscow. He was a pioneering designer in the former Soviet art world, and it was only after the Thaw that his entire work, including his early abstract compositions, was finally being reevaluated. His wife, Stepanova Варвара Ф. Stepanova/Varvara F. Stepanova (1894-1958) was also famous as a painter and designer.

ロシアの画家、舞台装置家、写真家、デザイナー。サンクト・ペテルブルグに生まれる。カザン美術学校に学び、1910年代後半から抽象的コンポジション絵画でデビュー、きわめて多彩かつ豊かな美的世界を創造した。20年から30年にかけてモスクワで後進の指導にあたったが、その間も多くの分野で活躍した。すなわち、20年代には、いまなお有名な数多くのポスター(映画『戦艦ポチョムキン』など)を制作したほか、書籍の装丁でもユニークな仕事を残した。また、演劇や映画では装置家として多彩な活躍をし、写真家としてはフォトモンタージュを手がけ、この分野でも優れた作品がある。30年代には芸術写真のほか有名人のポートレートも撮っている。モスクワに没。旧ソ連美術界にあってデザイナーとしての開拓者的な仕事をした人物であり、「雪どけ」後ようやく、初期の抽象的コンポジションをはじめ、その全業績が再評価される気運にあった。夫人ステパーノワВарвара Ф.Степанова/Varvara F. Stepanova (1894―1958)も画家、デザイナーとして有名。 [木村 浩] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
