Alexander Pavlovich Kibalnikov

Alexander Pavlovich Kibalnikov (Russian: Александр Павлович Кибальников) was a distinguished Soviet sculptor, born on August 22, 1912, in Orekhovo, situated in what is now Volgograd Oblast, Russia. His artistic talents were evident from a young age, despite initial lack of support from his family who wished for him to pursue a technical career. This led Kibalnikov to run away to Saratov, where he was eventually admitted to the Saratov School of Art and Manufacturing due to the excellence of his pencil drawings, mostly portraits. After his studies, he transitioned from designing in theater to sculpture, finding his true passion​​.

Kibalnikov's career flourished with significant accolades, such as the Stalin Prize in 1949 for his bronze statue of Nikolay Chernyshevsky and the Lenin Prize in 1959 for his monumental sculpture of Vladimir Mayakovsky in Moscow. His work contributed majorly to the Soviet sculptural landscape, creating deeply expressive and psychologically profound portraits of Russian cultural figures. Notable works include the monuments to N.G. Chernyshevsky in Saratov, V.V. Mayakovsky and P.M. Tretyakov in Moscow, and Sergei Yesenin in Ryazan, showcasing his mastery in both monumental and easel compositions​.

Kibalnikov is celebrated for his contributions to Soviet art and his ability to convey the spirit and ideology of his time through sculpture. His works are preserved in several museums and public spaces, standing as a testament to his skill and artistic vision.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Kibalnikov's work remains a fascinating study in the power of monumental art to shape and reflect cultural identity.
