Boris Ioganson
Boris Vladimirovich Ioganson (Russian: Борис Владимирович Иогансон, 25 July [O.S. 13 July] 1893 – 25 February 1973) also commonly known as B. V. Johanson, was a Russian and Soviet painter and educator. President of the USSR Academy of Arts in 1957-1962 and First Secretary of the Union of Painters of the USSR in 1965-1968.
Ioganson was born on 25 July [O.S. 13 July] 1893 in Moscow. His father's Swedish ancestors Russified the surname "Johansson" into "Ioganson".
In 1919-1922 he worked as a stage designer in the theaters of Krasnoyarsk and Alexandria (Kherson province). During the Civil War, he was an officer in the White Army and served with Kolchak. He ended up in a typhoid hospital and, finally, entered the service of the Red Army. According to the memoirs of the artist A. S. Smirnov, who knew the artist, the last, honored officer in the army of Kolchak.
Ioganson attended the Moscow School of Art, and studied under Kelin, Kasatkin and Malyutin. He was a member of the Society of Young Artists, where he argued for a complete transference of Russian art to Constructivism. He soon abandoned this cause and took up easel painting. In 1922, he helped found the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia, and abruptly transferred into the realm of Socialist Realism. Ioganson's work was inspired by that of Repin, that is exhibiting certain features of Impressionism, and was often narrative in nature. Possibly his best-known work was "Interrogation of the Communists" a piece thoroughly representative of Socialist Realism but with piercing elements of Romanticism, in addition to an exploitation of some elements of Futurism. A sense of theatricality is present in his paintings, probably due to his studies of theater design under Korovin.
1951-1954 — Director of the State Tretyakov Gallery.
From 1953 — Vice-President, from January 1957 - Acting President, in 1958-1962 — President of the USSR Academy of Arts.
1954-1957 — Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Union of Painters of the USSR, in 1965-1968 — First Secretary of the Union of Painters of the USSR.
From 1962 — Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia “Art of Countries and Peoples of the World”.
