Pavel Efimovich Ab

Pavel Efimovich Ab (Russian: Павел Ефимович Аб) was a Russian Soviet artist, born on November 22, 1902, in Orel. He is renowned for his contributions to painting and graphic arts, having studied under notable mentors such as Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and A. I. Savinov at the VKhUTEIN in Leningrad during the years 1923 to 1929​.

Ab's career was deeply influenced by his experiences during the Great Patriotic War, where he served in the 21st Rifle Division of the NKVD on the Leningrad Front. His war-time sketches of city defenders and subsequent military honors played a significant role in his artistic expression. After the war, he continued to actively participate in the creative community, producing notable works like "Pavlov in Koltushi" and "Speech of V. I. Lenin at the Admiralty Shipyards"​​.

His artworks, which often depicted military and historical themes, are preserved in various museums and private collections in Russia and abroad. Ab's commitment to the Leningrad Union of Artists until his death in 1974 ensured that his legacy would influence future generations of artists​​.
