Lot 182. KRYNSKY, Anatoly ( b. 1937).<br />
After-Party. 1985. Oil on canvas (420 x 300 mm). Signed and dated lower right.<br />
Anatoly Krynsky was born in Kharkov, Ukraine and was tutored by Vasily Yermilov, the <strong>Russian</strong> Constructivist, and Alexander Arkhipenko<br />
at the Kharkov Institute of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s. After moving to Moscow, Krynsky worked as an illustrator for the Association for Print and News<br />
(APN) and “Molodaya Gvardiya” publishing house. Krynsky was selected to design the <strong>Russian</strong> pavilions for the World Exhibition EXPO<br />
’70 in Japan and EXPO ’74 in Washington. Living a “semi-legal” existence, a customary reality for many Soviet artists of the time, helped<br />
shape Krynsky’s artistic character. His exhibitions were suppressed and his works confiscated by the KGB, but eventually Krynsky became<br />
a key figure in the non-conformist movement in Russia working with the likes of Boris Shteiberg, Vasily Sitnikov, Valery Vorobiev, Anatoly<br />
Zverev, Ilya Kabakov, and poet Mikhail Grobman.<br />
