In the history of art, Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné as Russian artist of Jewish origin (1888-1944).
Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné was born at Velyka Lepetykha in 1888. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Hrekov Odesa Art school and Higher Art School at the Imperial Academy of Arts.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
He worked as painter and sculptor.
Looking is a skill, and the artists who last are those who taught their audience how to do it.
That the work was made in Russia shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné died in 1944, aged 56. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
