Artist
Nikolai Avenirovich Martynov
Nikolai Avenirovich Martynov is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A quiet man who sketched theater posters by day and drew crowds of St. Petersburg street kids by night, Martynov carried a dog-eared copy of Dostoevsky in his coat pocket. His Martinoff Drawings show gaunt faces and threadbare coats with a tenderness that feels like overhearing gossip. If you like the raw humanity in Kollwitz, tap into this bundle next, Martynov’s lines catch the same quiet dignity.
