Vladimir Favorsky worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Vladimir Favorsky as Soviet artist (1886-1964).
Vladimir Favorsky was born at Moscow in 1886. His recorded nationality is Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. He trained at Faculty of History and Philology of Moscow University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
He worked as engraver, painter and graphic artist.
An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
Recognition followed: Lenin Prize.
That the work was made in Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Vladimir Favorsky died in 1964, aged 78. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
