Voloshin Maksimilian Aleksandrovich (1877, Kiev – 1932, Koktebel).
He was a Symbolist poet, critic, essay writer, artist, one of the most iconic figures of the Russian Silver Age. During his visits to Paris, he attended lectures at the Sorbonne, studied in the Louvre and in libraries. He also traveled in Spain, Italy, and Bolearic islands. Voloshin was strongly influenced by his first wife, an artist M. Sabashnikova, passionately involved with the occultism and theosophy. He lived in a small estate in Koktebel (Crimea). Being a true art nouveau artist, he was interested in problems of the synthesis of arts, and accompanied his literary and philosophical studies with painting. Water-colours of Crimean landscapes form a lager part of his artistic heritage. He wrote articles on new art, reports of Paris exhibitions, books reviews, lectured on literature and art in Feodosia and Kerch. M. Voloshin’s paintings are in the State Tretyakov Gallery, State Russian Museum, M.A. Voloshin’s House Museum in Koktebel, and in many private collections.
