Alexander Tikhonovich Pushnin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ти́хонович Пушни́н) was a Soviet-Russian artist, celebrated for his contributions to the Leningrad school of painting. Born in 1921 in Morshansk, Tambov province, Pushnin had a prolific career influenced by his studies under notable teachers at the Repin Institute of Arts, where he later became a professor himself.

His works are noted for their broad, expressive brushstrokes and a nuanced palette that skillfully balanced rich hues with warm and cool tones. This distinctive style helped him capture complex angles and fluid patterns, earning him a place in exhibitions from as early as 1951.

Today, Pushnin’s works are housed in prestigious collections both in Russia and internationally, including the State Russian Museum and various private collections across Europe and America.
