Boris Mikhailovich Artzybasheff was an Russian illustrator active in the United States, notable for his strongly worked and often surreal designs.
Boris Artzybasheff is another in an ever-lengthening list of great illustrators I had previously featured as an unsung hero. But on mature reflection there's just too much great illustration created by him for that to be enough.
So here's a lecture which attempts to encapsulate his formidable draughtsmanship, range and imagination. And although I was completely unaware of his existence before I started making videos he is to my mind at least one of the 20th century's all time greats.
