🔊 Boris Kustodiev, a famous Russian artist, was also a book illustrator. His life and work are inseparably linked with the Volga and the wide open countryside of the area, where Kustodiev spent his childhood and youth. His deep love for this area never left him all his life. 🔊 Boris Kustodiev was born in Astrakhan. His father, a schoolteacher, died young and all financial problems of the family lay on his mother’s shoulders. Despite financial difficulties Boris’ mother sent the capable boy to have lessons with a local artist A. Vlasov. In 1896 Kustodiev went to St Petersburg and entered the Academy of Arts. He studied in Repin’s studio where painted a lot from nature. His teacher Ilya Repin thought that Kustodiev was a really promising student. He once said, "Kustodiev is a talented artist, a thoughtful and serious man with a deep love of art..." 🔊 In 1905 Kustodiev first turned to book illustrating, a genre in which he worked throughout his entire life. He illustrated many works of classical Russian literature, including Gogol’s "Dead Souls". His famous paintings are "The Fair" and "The Merchant’s Wife".
