Dmitry Alekseevich Trubnikov

Dmitry Alekseevich Trubnikov – artist. Dmitry Trubnikov was born in the village of Bolshie Soli (since 1938 – the village of Nekrasovskoye) in Yaroslavl Oblast. He received his art education at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, studying under such well-known masters as Valentin Serov, Abram Arkhipov and the Korovin brothers.

 

In 1924 Trubnikov moved to the town of Sereda in the Ivanovo-Voznesensk Governorate (since 1941 – the town of Furmanov) at the invitation of the People's Theatre named after A. Ostrovsky to take the post of stage designer. This town became his home for the rest of his life. In 1934 Trubnikov joined the Union of Artists of the USSR. His works were shown at several regional exhibitions in Ivanovo (1935, 1937, 1940) and at the exhibition of older-generation artists in Moscow in 1940. In 1945 his works were exhibited at exhibitions in the Ivanovo, Gorky and Yaroslavl regions.

 

The core of his artistic legacy consists of landscapes of the central part of Russia and a small number of southern landscapes. Dmitry Alekseevich Trubnikov died in 1947 and was buried in the Nikolskoye Cemetery in Furmanov. In 1989, thanks to the efforts of a group of enthusiasts seeking to preserve the memory of Trubnikov's work, a gallery bearing the artist's name was opened in Furmanov.
