Mircho Kolinkoev. Almost Like a Revival, But Not Quite...

Summary/Abstract: The work of Mircho Kolenkoev (1905–1938), a Bulgarian artist who worked in the USSR, where he ended up as a polymigrant after 1925, has remained completely unknown until now. Yet it is deeply connected and contains a strong, authentic language with examples from the modern trends of both post-revolutionary Russian art and European movements. Faithful and opposed to the conservative imposition of literal realism with an illustrative and literary ideological stamp, Kolinkoev was arrested, put on trial on trumped-up charges, and shot. The article reveals both the facts surrounding his tragic fate, that of himself and a number of his close colleagues, and analyses his artistic legacy.
