Description
DIMITRY BORISOVICH LION (1925–1993) Untitled ink on paper 42.5 × 61.4 cm Dmitry Borisovich Lion (1925–1993) was a Russian graphic artist and a leading figure in the Soviet non-conformist movement. Born in Kaluga, he studied at the Moscow School of Fine Arts and later at the Moscow Architectural Institute. After completing his military service during and following the Second World War, he devoted himself to drawing and teaching. From the 1960s onwards, Lion developed a highly personal visual language, combining expressive drawing, calligraphy and philosophical reflection. His works are exhibited in major Russian museums, notably the Russian Museum and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
