Alexander Aksinin was a well-regarded printmaker and painter. He was born in Lviv, Soviet Union, on October 2, 1949, and died in a plane crash near Lviv on May 3, 1985. His sophisticated etching technique, precision and perfectionist attention to details earned him the sobriquet the “Dürer of Lviv”.〔(Igor Klekh. ''Between Escher and Borges: On A. Aksinin's Exhibition in the National Center for Contemporary Art'' // The Herald of Europe, №30, 2011 (in Russian). )〕 Art critics hailed him as “a 20th century Piranesi” for his dramatic and elaborate constructs.〔(Michael Sokolov. ''A Free Grandson of the Black Square - On the Art of Alexander Aksinin'' )〕 ==Biography== Alexander Aksinin was born to military cartographer Dmitriy Aksinin and railroad official Ludmila Aksinina. In 1972 he graduated from the Ukrainian Institute of Printing, where he specialized in Graphics Arts. In 1972–1977 Aksinin worked as an art editor in a publishing house, served in the Soviet army and then worked as an art designer in an industrial design office. Since 1977 he focused entirely on his art, in particular in the fields of printed and drawn graphics. In 1981 Alexander Aksinin wrote the following brief autobiography for poet V. Krivulin's essay, where real and factual events are melded together with metaphysical observations: On May 3, 1985, on his way back from Tallinn, Alexander Aksinin died in a plane crash near Zolochiv, close to Lviv. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Aksinin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
