Vladimir YANKILEVSKY
(1938-2018)

Biography

Vladimir Yankilevsky was born in Moscow in an artist family. In 1949, he entered the Moscow School of Arts, then studied until 1962 at the Faculty of Arts of the Moscow Polygraphic Institute. That same year, he took part in the famous exhibition of the Armoury where he exhibited the pentaptyque “Atomic Station” (now preserved at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne) and the “Triptych n°2” (now presented at the Zimmerly Art Museum in the United States). It was also in 1962 that his first solo exhibition took place at the…

Vladimir Yankilevsky was born in Moscow in an artist family. In 1949, he entered the Moscow School of Arts, then studied until 1962 at the Faculty of Arts of the Moscow Polygraphic Institute. That same year, he took part in the famous exhibition of the Armoury where he exhibited the pentaptyque “Atomic Station” (now preserved at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne) and the “Triptych n°2” (now presented at the Zimmerly Art Museum in the United States). It was also in 1962 that his first solo exhibition took place at the Moscow University. At that time he met his future wife, Rimma, who became his muse and the subject of many of his works.

A nonconformist artist, Vladimir works in the secret of his studio and shows his works from 1975. During these years, he earned his living as an illustrator for publishing houses.

At the end of the Soviet political regime, Vladimir Yankilevsky exhibited his works freely throughout the world, in New York, Germany, France, etc. Because of the many trips, Vladimir and Rimma decided to settle in Paris, where they live today. Yankilevsky is now famous for its mixed collage paintings, triptychs and installations.

In November 1967, he stated in Opus International: Art is an emotional, human appreciation of the world. By means of art, man humanizes the world, he appropriates it and makes it commensurate with his sensations and imagination […] The artist does not aim at the creation of a beautiful immutable, but – and this is his essential mission – to explore life.”

Thus, if Yankilevsky’s painting strives to stigmatize the faults of an existence doomed to obsessive fractures (duality man-woman, man-society, man-mechanization), it does not less engage an exemplary wisdom: that of intimating us to more harmony. With Yankilevsky, what history cannot specify, the plastic touch, vibrant, contrasting, intelligent, explicit.
