Boris Grigoriev (1886-1939)

Boris Grigoriev visited Cuba in the spring of 1936. On this expedition around South America the artist also visited Chile, Ecuador and Peru, producing a large series (around 300) of gouaches. This series is both stylistically and thematically comparable to the works he executed on his previous and most extensive South American tour, which took place in 1928-1929.

We are grateful to Dr Tamara Galeeva, Senior Lecturer at the Ural State University, Ekaterinburg, for her assistance in cataloguing the present work.
