The Forgotten Artist of Russia’s Vibrant, Contemplative Past (Andrey Ryabushkin)
Andrey Ryabushin was born in 1961 to a family of village iconographers, another boy in a long line of men brought up to express their religion’s teachings through vivid, though traditional, forms and colours.
From early childhood, he helped his father and oldest brother restore and renew village churches in the area. It was a quiet task, as the iconographer’s job is not only artistic, but spiritual.
