Staronosov, Petr Nikolaevich

Born Jan. 6 (18), 1893, in Moscow; died there Nov. 18,1942. Soviet graphic artist.

Staronosov was basically a self-taught artist.

His work, which consists mainly of small engravings and illustrations executed using the techniques of wood engraving and linecut, is characterized by a highly emotional perception of the world, an intricate many-planed composition, and an overall decorativeness.

Staronosov’s works include the series The Pamirs (1932; colored pencil, watercolor, and gouache; Tret’iakov Gallery and Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow) and illustrations to O. Gur’ian’s The Golden Tail (1930) and P. M. Kerzhentsev’s The Life of Lenin (1936).
