Fine Art Tuesday

 

Fishing

Nikolay Bogdanov in Smolenks, Russia (approximately 230 miles west of Moscow) in 1868 and died in 1945. His style of art was frowned upon by the Soviet dictators, so he moved to Latvia and continued to paint. He died in Berlin during a bombing raid that destroyed the clinic that he was a patient in.

    Thanks as always, ERJ.

    I am finding a deep enjoyment of the Russian painters.

    Next to last frame. Looks like she just got the news that the husband is not coming home. Poor, no shoes. Hope the family can survive.
