- Biography
- Veniamin Briskin (1906-82) was a Russian artist known for his unique style of painting. Born in Moscow, Briskin studied at the Moscow Art School and later at the Surikov Art Institute. He was greatly influenced by the works of the Russian avant-garde artists and developed his own style of painting that combined elements of cubism, futurism, and abstract art. Briskin's paintings were characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and a sense of movement and energy. He often depicted urban landscapes, industrial scenes, and everyday objects in his works. Briskin's art was highly regarded by his contemporaries and he was awarded numerous prizes and honors throughout his career. Despite his success, Briskin faced persecution from the Soviet authorities for his non-conformist style of art. He was expelled from the Union of Artists in 1958 and his works were banned from public display. Briskin continued to paint in secret and his works were only exhibited publicly after his death in 1982. Today, Briskin's paintings are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts around the world.
