Ariy Shkolny. Member of the Artists Union of the USSR. Honoured Art Worker of Kazakhstan. Painter. Born in 1926 in Orenburg, in 1932 together with his family moved to Almaty. From early childhood he liked to draw steppe distances and mountain peaks. He studied at the Almaty Art School named after N.V.Gogol (modern Almaty College of Decorative and Applied Arts named after Oral Tansykbaev) (1941) with such teachers as A.M. Cherkassky, L.P. Leontiev, A.I. Bortnikov. Having not completed his studies at the school, he was mobilised to the Red Army, served in the ranks of border troops in Tajikistan, on the border with Afghanistan (1943 - 1951). In 1957 he graduated from the school with honours. In the late 1950s, when the artist was already in his thirties, he began to participate in art exhibitions. However, his first works immediately put him on a par with already known masters and were purchased by the Kazakh State Art Gallery named after T.G. Shevchenko (now State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan named after A.Kasteev). The themes of all Shkolny's works are inspired by impressions from various creative trips across the republic, during which he made numerous sketches: ‘In a fisherman's collective farm’ (1960), ‘Shepherds’ (1960). His best works are characterised by a sincere and truthful attitude to his art. скрыть
