Evgeny Kropivnitsky (Moscow, 1893 - Moscow, 1979) headed the Lianozovo group of poets and artists, named after the small town where he and his wife lived in a disused barrack hut, which made an important contribution to the nonconformist movement in Moscow (mid-1950s). He worked in various styles, but was mostly drawn to Cubism and Expressionism
