Biography


Alexei Kokel was born into a large family in Tarkhany, Simbirsk Governorate, Russia (now Batyrevsky District, Chuvash Republic). His love for fine art began early on. Alexei would paint different scenes on slate such as local wildlife, his village, or the local church, and would copy illustrations from his school textbooks. In his later youth, he followed his brother's path by attending Simbirsk Chuvash teacher's school. However, he was unable to graduate due to contracting a skeletal form of tuberculosis.[2] In 1902–1903, after many years of treatment, he attended the Drawing School at the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. He would then go on to attend the Imperial Academy of Arts[3] in 1904, where he was able to work under Savitsky, Zaleman, and Tsioglinsky. In 1905, he elected to change his name from Afanasiev to Kokel.

After publishing his diploma work "In The Tea Room" (1912), he was awarded a trip to Italy where his work was displayed at international exhibitions in Munich and Venice.[4] From 1916 onward, Alexei lived and worked in Ukraine and participated in the development of higher art education. He taught at Kharkiv Art College (1916–1921) and the Kharkiv Art Institute (1921–1936). He died in 1956 and was buried in Kharkiv.
