Exhibition
of Amir Timergaleev |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Amir Timergaleev was born in Kazan, southeast of Moscow, in 1955. He
started his education as a painter in the Kazan Art School at the
age of just fifteen, moving on to the Surikov Art Institute in
Moscow. He became absorbed in School of Paris painters, particularly
Matisse and Cézanne, and became aware of the contribution made to
modernism by the Russian masters Kandinsky and Malevich. He was
particularly inspired by the links Kandinsky forged between music
and colour.
By his mid-twenties he
was a veteran of the Republic and All-Union Exhibition, and of shows
sponsored by the Artists' Union, and was already beginning to be
known as far afield as India, Germany and the UK. His work was noted
in M.M.Kurilko and His Disciples, the definitive study of the
Russian painter and set-designer. Timergaleev
continued to explore the great schools of modernism, notably Cubism,
Expressionism and Fauvism, producing what one critic has called "classical
images of the avant-garde culture". Photo Report from the Reception of 7 February 2006
