Featured Artist - Anatoli Kaplan

Details

Short Biography

Born in Rogachev, Belorussia.

Studied at The Leningrad Academy of Arts 1921-1926.

Became a member of Union of Artists in 1939.

He participated in group exhibitions at home and abroad and had several one-artist shows in the West. No solo exhibition of his works was organized in his homeland during his lifetime, and to this day Soviet officialdom resists honoring the artist with a one-artist show, despite his worldwide acclaim.
