Adolf Markovich Konstantinopolsky ( Russian: Адольф Маркович Константинопольский; 20 April 1923, Kharkiv — 1 December 1993, Kharkiv) was a Soviet and Ukrainian artist of battle scenes. He fought in the World War II and wa awarded the Order of the Red Star (1945). He earned the title of Merited Artist of Ukraine (1974), and People's Artist of Ukraine (1991). [1] He was Full Professor.
Adolf Konstantonopolsky was born in Kharkiv in the family of a white-collar worker. [2]
He studied at the Kharkiv State School of Art (1940–1941) and at the Kharkiv State Academy of Arts (1948–1954); among his professors were Yury V. Balanovsky, G. A. Tomenko, O. P. Lezina. [2] He painted "Days of Mourning" and "People's Mourning" as his graduation assignment under the guidance of S. F. Besedin.
Adolf Konstantinopolsky took part in art exhibitions since 1954.
One of the first artist's paintings, "Native Soil" was exhibited at a Ukrainian art exhibition in 1957. The painting at once won the recognition of viewers and critics, rightfully becoming one of the best battle painting works of the Ukrainian SSR dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. This epic, multi-faceted canvas looks natural and nonchallant. It attracts with its truthfulness and deep meaning. The gaze gradually moves from group to group, from face to face, thus creating the impression that the soldiers are diverse and, at the same time, united in their mood. [3]
The artist's works were exhibited at art exhibitions in Canada (1962) and Italy (1975).
