Konstantin Vyalov was a well-known Russian (Soviet) painter, graphic and theatre artist known for his large-scale industrial and naval paintings as well as posters and book illustrations. In 1914-1917 studied at the Stroganov School of Applied Arts, reorganised during the revolution as GSKhM (Independent State Art Studios), better known as a part of VKhUTEMAS, where Vyalov studied under Kandinsky and Tatlin (1918-1920) and later Shterenberg (1920-1924). His early period was highly influenced by Malevich and the Constructivist and Suprematist movements at large. Vyalov was one of the founding members of OST (along artists such as Aleksandr Deyneka and Yuri Pimenov). After the dissolution of the collective, he became part of Izobrigada (1931-1932).
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Vyalov worked primarily as a book illustrator and on political and anti-religious posters (he would go on to also create a series of war posters for TASS` "Windows"), eventually turning to Social Realism. While traveling throughout the USSR in the early 1930s, Vyalov made a series of works documenting the industrialisation of the country, from Crimea, Turkmenistan, and the following work, painted in Georgia in 1933. Vyalov was apparently thrilled by the rapid appearance of technology (like the train at the focus of this composition) in predominantly-agrarian regions. From 1933 to 1940 Vyalov also designed the All-State Agricultural Exhibition, later known as the VDNKh trade shows.
He exhibited frequently around the USSR (in 1923 along Popova, Rodchenko, Exter; in 1930 with Malevich) and abroad, including in Paris with Altman, Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, and Stepanova (1925), in Leipzig (1927) with Lissitzky, as well as in Berlin (1927, 1928), Venice (1932), New York (1933) and London (1934). His works are held in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and the Russian Museum, as well as smaller regional museums and private collections. - Shipping Info
