Label Text:
Iankilevskii, who is now living and working in France, graduated from the Academy of Design and the Moscow Polygraphic Institute. In 1962, the exhibition of his nineteen foot-long, five-part painting (or pentaptych) at the Manege drew Khrushchev’s condemnation, and raised Iankilevskii’s persistent fear of random government prosecutions. He supported himself first, by working as a book illustrator, and then—assisted by Sobolev, whose Untitled is displayed nearby—for the journal Znanie–Sila (Knowledge is Power). Increasingly recognized abroad, Iankilevskii’s work was banned from exhibition in his native country until 1978, the date of a retrospective held in Moscow.
