Alexander Tikhonovich Pushnin
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.
Pushnin's artistry was marked by a blend of portraits, landscapes, and thematic paintings. 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.
