Mstislav Valerianovich Dobuzhinsky or Dobujinsky Lithuanian: Mstislavas Dobužinskis (August 2, 1875, Novgorod — November 20, 1957, New York City) was a Russian-Lithuanian artist noted for cityscapes conveying the explosive growth and decay of the early twentieth-century city.
Of noble Lithuanian extraction, Dobuzhinsky finished Second Men's Gymnasium in Vilnius, later was educated in St. Petersburg, Nagybanya and Munich, where he came to be influenced by the Jugendstil. Having returned to Russia, he joined the Mir iskusstva, an artistic circle which idealized the 18th century as the "age of elegance".
Dobuzhinsky was distinguished from other miriskusniki by his expressionist manner and keen interest in modern industrial cityscape. He often painted seedy or tragic scenes from urban life which expressed the nightmarish bleakness and loneliness of modern times. Among his works were also humorous vignettes and sketches with demon-like creatures which seemed to embody the monstrosities of urbanization.
Like other members of the Mir iskusstva, Dobuzhinsky experimented with scenic design. At first he worked for Constantin Stanislavski at the Moscow Arts Theatre, but later contributed sets to several DiaghilevVladimir Nabokov, with whom he maintained correspondence for decades. productions as well. He also gained renown as an excellent art teacher; among his young pupils was
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Dobuzhinsky followed the advice of Jurgis Baltrusaitis and withdrew to Lithuania. He was naturalized there in 1924 and lived in Kaunas until 1925, and then between 1929 and 1939, when he emigrated to England and later to USA. In Lithuania he worked at a state theatre as scenographer and created scenography for 38 plays, besides running a private painting school (1930-1933).
Among his later works are series of masterful and dramatic illustrations, notably for Dostoyevsky's White Nights (1923) and Yuri Olesha's Three Fat Men (1925). Between 1925 and 1929 Dobuzhinsky contributed sets for theatre productions in Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Düsseldorf. During the World War II, Dobuzhinsky painted imaginary landscapes of the besieged Leningrad. His memoirs were published posthumously.
