Painter, Illustrator, b. 1878 - d. 1939

Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin, (November 5, 1878 – February 15, 1939) was a Russian/Soviet painter. His early iconographic work used special creative effects based on the curve of the globe, but its images were considered blasphemous by the Russian Orthodox Church. However he went on to become the first president of the Leningrad Union of Soviet Artists. His autobiographical writings attracted much praise, and have enjoyed a later revival.
