Biography
Yuri Annenkov
B. 1889 Petropavl, Kazakhstan D. 1974 Paris, France
Yuri Annenkov excelled in many fields, from easel painting to graphic portraiture, book illustrations to film and theatre designs. A colleague of Marc Chagall at the University of St. Petersburg, Annenkov traveled to Paris in 1911 and worked with famed French artists Maurice Denis and Felix Vallotton. Returning to Russia, he was active alongside the avant-garde but left permanently in 1924, settling in France and becoming part of the School of Paris group.
Annenkov’s career ran parallel to the seismic events of the 20th century, spanning almost 70 years, traversing two continents and creating links between the Silver Age, post-revolutionary Russia, and post-war Europe. Throughout the 1920s, he participated in some of the decade’s most significant international exhibitions, including those in Berlin (1922), Venice (1924), and Paris (1925), and capped his scenographic career in 1954 with an Academy Award nomination for best costume design for his work on Max Ophüls’s (1902–1957), ‘The Earrings of Madame de...’.
