WIKIPEDIA: Yevgeny Yevgenyevich Lansere, also spelled Eugene Lanceray (23 August 1875 - 13 September 1946), was a Russian graphic artist, painter, sculptor, mosaicist, and illustrator, associated stylistically with Mir iskusstva (the World of Art). Lanceray left Saint Petersburg in 1917, and spent three years living in Dagestan, where he became infatuated with Oriental themes. His interest increased during journeys made in the early 1920s to Japan and Ankara, Turkey. In 1920, he moved to Tbilisi, Georgia. During his stay in Georgia, he lectured at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts (1922-1934) and illustrated the Caucasian novellas of Leo Tolstoy. Amongst his students were Apollon Kutateladze. Lanceray left Georgia in 1934, settling in Moscow, where he became involved with decoration of the Kazan Railway Station and the Hotel Moskva. During this same period, Lanceray also worked as a theatrical designer. Three years before his death, he was honored with the Stalin Prize. He died in Moscow at age 71.
