History
The portrait was painted in Leningrad in 1957. Evgeny Mravinsky is shown at home, sitting in an armchair in a quiet position, immersed in thought. His appearance, details of clothing and interior design and hand positions convey him at the time of creation. The instruments of his profession are pushed into the background. Before us is primarily a contemporary, intellectual man of an independent character, will and developed self-esteem. It is these qualities that Mravinsky wanted to convey onto Russov in this work. This helped not only his profession, but also the long-term friendship linking the two artists. In 1957, the portrait was exhibited for the first time at the Leningrad artists show in the Russian State Museum.[2]
In 2007 the Portrait of Yevgeny Mravinsky had been commented on and reproduced in the book Unknown Socialist Realism. The Leningrad School among 350 selected works by artists of the Leningrad School.[3]
