Georgy Bogdanovich Yakulov

Georgy Bogdanovich Yakulov (Russian: Гео́ргий Богда́нович Яку́лов) was a multifaceted Armenian artist renowned for his contributions across several artistic domains, including painting, graphic art, stage design, and art theory. Born on January 16, 1884, in Tiflis (now Tbilisi), Yakulov's work is celebrated for its abstract art and avant-garde approach, blending Eastern influences with European modernism. His art is notable for its abstract qualities, rich decorative colors, and a unique blend of romantic expressionism with a fascination for Oriental exoticism​​​​.

Yakulov's journey into the art world was marked by significant milestones, such as his studies at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, and his military service in northeast China, which introduced him to Eastern light effects and decoration​​​​. His artistic career flourished with exhibitions across Moscow, Paris, and Berlin, where he became associated with notable movements and figures, including the Delaunays and their theory of Simultanism​​.

A pivotal moment in Yakulov's career was his contribution to theatre, most notably his work with the Moscow Chamber Theatre and his designs for ballets, including those commissioned by Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes. This period highlighted his ability to merge traditional theatrical techniques with modernist abstraction, creating a lasting impact on stage design​​​​.

His theories, particularly the "Theory of Colored Suns," showcased his innovative approach to art, emphasizing the importance of light and color, which he explored through his essays and designs​​​​. Despite his passing on December 28, 1928, Yakulov's legacy endures through his contributions to modern art and theatre, with works displayed in notable galleries and a special place among avant-garde artists​​​​.
