Eugene Lanceray

Eugene Lanceray

Yevgeny Yevgenievich Lanceray, also spelled Lansere (23 August 187513 September 1946), was a Russian graphic artist (painter, sculptor, mosaicist, illustrator) associated stylistically with the World of Art, a Russian magazine (initiated 1899 in St. Petersburg) and the artistic movement it inspired.

Lanceray was born in Pavlovsk. His father was a prominent sculptor, and his uncle was Alexandre Benois, an essential figure in the artistic world of Europe. Lanceray was enrolled at the Académie Colarossi and Académie Julian between 1895 and 1898. Like other World of Art members, he was fascinated with the "sparkling dust" of rococo art and often turned to the 18th century Russian history for inspiration.

Lanceray was the only well-known member of the World of Art to remain in Russia after the Revolution of 1917. Even his sister, Zinaida Serebriakova, found the revolutionary milieu alien to her art and left for Paris. Lanceray, who had been illustrating revolutionary periodicals during the First Russian Revolution, went to Ankara. He became infatuated with oriental themes, moved to Dagestan and settled eventually in Tbilisi. During his stay in Georgia, he lectured in the local academy of arts and illustrated the Caucasian novellas of Leo Tolstoy.

It was not until 1933 that Lanceray returned to Moscow, where he became involved with decoration of the Kazan Railway Station and the Hotel Moskva. Three years before his death, he was honoured with the Stalin Prize. He died in Moscow at age 71.
