Dimitri Mikhailovich Krasnopevtsev, (Russian, Soviet, 1925 - 1995), oil painting on masonite board depicting a metaphysical still life in blue shades, 1959. Signed and dated upper left. Framed. Note: Dimitri Krasnopevtsev is a Russian artist, known for Still life, nature morte, cubist painting. Dmitri Krasnopevtsev was born in Moscow and studied at the Academy of Art, from 1942 to 1946. In 1955 he also received a degree from the Surikov Art Institute. Since 1956, Krasnopevtsev exhibited his works at home and abroad. After Life magazine published one of his still lifes, he was criticized in the Soviet press. It was not until the mid 1980s, when the Perestroika years under Gorbachev allowed Krasnopevtsevs rehabilitation. His works were increasingly presented in museums and awarded with prizes, such as the informal Triumph Prize in 1993.
