Boris Grigoriev Prints – Portraits, Performers & Landscapes
Boris Grigoriev prints bring long contours, emphatic faces and strong colour to portraits, performers and landscapes. Figure subjects share the selection with flowers, still lifes and views from different places. Browse unframed prints, framed prints and canvas panels, alongside portrait art and Expressionist prints.
The theatrical figure within a narrow frame
Russian Cabaret places an elongated standing figure among richly coloured, patterned surroundings. Clothing and the turn of the body give the upright composition much of its movement. Other performer and social subjects introduce different ways of arranging a figure within an active setting.
Portraiture and the dramatic pose
Portrait of Vsevolod Meyerhold presents a formally dressed figure with raised hands beside a contrasting red-clad form. Gesture and costume make the image feel staged rather than casually observed. Other portraits in the collection range from individual sitters to closely framed faces.
Flowers and the landscape beyond the figure
Sunflowers fills the view with tall stems and bright heads against warm ground and distant land. The repeated plant forms offer another subject for Grigoriev’s strong outlines. Landscapes and arrangements of objects extend the collection further. Browse still-life art for related object-based subjects.
