Eugène Gabritschevsky

Eugène (or Eugen) Gabritschevsky (December 1893 – April 5, 1979) was a Russian biologist and artist.

His father was a bacteriologist, and worked with Louis Pasteur in France and with Robert Koch in Germany.

Gabritschevsky studied biology at the University of Moscow from 1913, specialising in problems related to heredity.

[2][3] In the ensuing thirty years, Gabritschevsky created an extraordinary body of art: thousands of paintings and drawings.

He started painting ghost-looking silhouettes, large-headed monsters with huge eyes, and then later small beings that look like mutants.
