From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yuri Eremin (Russian: Юрий Ерёмин; 1881, Kazanskaya, Voyskoy Donskoy Oblast — 1948, Moscow) was a Russian and Soviet artist and photographer, a representative of pictorialism. Eremin studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in the class of Apollinary Vasnetsov, attended drawing classes at the private Julian Academy in Paris, and after the October Revolution at the Higher Art and Technical Studios in Moscow. In photography, Eremin emerged as a creative personality before the Revolution, but became widely known in the 1920s and 1930s as a master of architectural and landscape photography, as well as for his nude photographs.
