Biography
Abram Borisovich Grushko was born June 6, 1918, in Moscow, Soviet Russia. In 1952, Grushko graduated from the Ilya Repin Institute in the Boris Ioganson workshop.[3] He studied the works of Boris Fogel, Semion Abugov, Lia Ostrova, Genrikh Pavlovsky, and Joseph Serebriany. After 1956, Grushko participated in Art Exhibitions and painted portraits, landscapes, and genre compositions. His works were featured in his solo exhibitions at Leningrad in 1990.
The main subjects of Abram Grushko's artwork were nature and the people of Zaonezhye (Onega Lake region, Karelia). His traditional plain air paintings in 1960 were replaced by decorative graphics solutions, similar to "severe style" with clarity of the silhouette, saturated colors, or a generalized drawing. Coloring was restrained, with a predominance of dark-brown, ocher, and blue tones.
Since 1961, Abram Grushko was a member of the Leningrad branch of Union of Artists of Russian Federation.[4] In the years of 1965 – 1980, Abram Grushko worked as an Art Teacher at Vera Mukhina Institute of Art and Design. Abram Borisovich Grushko died on 15 March 1980, in Leningrad at the age of 61. His paintings reside in Art museums and private collections in Russia,[5] Israel, Germany, the USA, England, Japan, France,[6] and other countries around the world.
