\n \n GRIGORYEV Boris Dmitrievich (1886-1939), artist. He studied at the Stroganov Art School under Dmitry Shcherbinovsky (1903-07), in the Academy of Arts under Alexander Kiselev and Dmitry Kardovsky (1907-13), and attended the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris (1911). In 1907-19 Grigoryev lived in St. Petersburg where he was close to the circle of Petersburg artists and cubo-futuristic poets, although he preferred to avoid extreme forms of avant-garde in his own works. He participated in the exhibitions of the World of Art movement (1913-18; and starting in 1917 as a member of the movement). He created painted and graphic portraits of Ilya Repin (1915), Vsevolod Meyerhold (1916, the State Russian Museum), Nikolay Roerich (1917), Boris Kustodiev (1917), Mstislav Dobuzhinsky (1917), and Fedor Chaliapin (1918). Grigoryev participated in the decoration of the cabaret Prival Komediantov (Comedians Halt) (1915-16). From 1916, he was working on a series of paintings and graphic works, Rasseya, depicting the Russian peasantry and village life in a grotesque and sharp form. He crossed the Finnish border illegally in 1919 to settle in France in 1921. Grigoryev tutored in the art academies of Santiago (1928) and New York (1935-38). He created the monumental painting Faces of the World dedicated to the League of Nations (1930, purchased by the government of Czechoslovakia). He died in France.
