At an early age Irene knew she was going to be an artist. After several years of artistic training, she graduated valedictorian from the prestigious Saint Petersburg Academy of Art. This renowned school, created in the eighteenth century, has influenced many masters in its years of existence. Artists such as K. Brioullov, A. Ivanov, I. Repine, V. Sourikov, I. Levitan, V. Serov, and I. Vroubel are ambassadors of Russia’s art worldwide. Irene drew inspiration from the work of Botticelli, Chagall, Kandinsky, Picasso, and Goya. However Cezanne and Matisse made the deepest impact. Avant-garde Russian students, Falk, Konchalovsky, Mashkov, Lentulov, were followers of these French artists. Calling themselves the “Jack of Diamonds” , a name proposed by Larionov (a member), suggested not only the roguish behavior of the avant-garde, but conveyed a love of popular graphic art forms…. such as vintage printed playing cards. |
