October 12] 1875 – April 11, 1958) was a noted Russian painter and theatre designer associated with the Mir Iskusstva.

During several trips to Western Europe, particularly in Paris, he became acquainted with the cityscapes of Camille Pissarro and other Impressionists, but retained his own distinctive style.

Later he toyed with the ideas of lyrical landscape mixed with the imitations of Palekh miniature and Icon arts.

The most Symbolist of his works are the cycle of engravings Creation of the World on the theme of Genesis (1908–1912) and the painting New Planet that shows the October Revolution as the result of a cosmic catastrophe.

To the end of his life he became a strict socialist realism artist, producing paintings like Parade on the Red Square on November 7, 1941.
