Life and work

Vladimirski was born in Kiev, Ukraine.[1] He began his artistic studies at age 10, later attending the newly established Kiev Art College (1900-1904) where he studied with Ivan Seleznyov, followed by the Academy of Arts and the Anton Ažbe School in Munich (1904-1908). He exhibited his first painting in 1906.[2]

As an official Soviet artist his work was well received and widely exhibited. His works were aimed at exemplifying the work ethic of the Soviet people; they were displayed in many homes and federal buildings. He is also known for his paintings of prominent public officials.[3]

His work "Roses for Stalin" is often considered a classic example of Socialist realism and Soviet propaganda.^{[citation needed]} ”Black Ravens”, which depicts Soviet secret police (NKVD) that came at night to disappear people, is regarded as a piece that transcended the values of Socialist Realism. "It is still unknown how this work passed censorship."[4]
