Knyazev Mstislav

Biography

I graduated from Tomsk University, history department, and Biology School at Moscow University. I worked as a journalist for some papers: Siberian paper, Severo-Vostok (Novosibirsk), La Pensee Russe (Paris).

My grandmother’s sister from Moscow was a painter from VKhUTEIN. She was acquainted with the Stalin era’s movie stars, Konstantin Stanislavsky and befriended such Russian avant-gardists as El Lissytsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Aristarkh Lentulov (their works cost high at the Sotheby’s now). In the 1940s, she was a drawing teacher of Valery Levental, the chief artist of the Bolshoi theatre in the 1970-80s.

My works are know to some persons in the USA, France, the UK.
