From the introductory article to the exhibition catalog "Valentin Nikolaevich Leontiev and his students ” , 2008 Art critic Olga Shikhanova. He was loved by both students and fellow artists. Many even now remember with a smile many funny stories associated with the name of Valentin Nikolaevich Leontiev, one of the most significant painters of Yaroslavl. Many are still grateful to him for the lessons of mastery, for patience and tolerance, for a sincere interest in their first, albeit timid, steps in art and for a personal example of passion for creativity. A native Yaroslavl, Leontiev was born on February 5, 1912. His father was a wagon coupler on the railroad and died when his son was 7 years old. Mother Alexandra Nikolaevna worked all her life as a painter at one of the oldest paint and varnish enterprises in the country - the Victory of Workers plant. An inquisitive and active boy at the age of ten joined the first pioneer detachment on Krasny Perekop and from that time became addicted to drawing. Valentin received his initial art diploma in the then popular working studios of fine arts, and in the Yaroslavl Art School, where he entered in 1928, his teachers were wonderful teachers Sergei Fedorovich Shitov and Pyotr Nikolaevich Shadrikov, who stood at the origins of the Yaroslavl art school. In 1931, after defending his diploma, Leontiev received a referral to the Victory of Workers factory, where he conscientiously performed the usual work for a factory artist: he wrote slogans, drew wall newspapers, designed stands with the results of socialist competitions. Such work could not give real creative satisfaction to a person with his pictorial possibilities. In 1933, Valentin first entered the preparatory classes of the All-Russian Academy of Arts, and in 1935 became a student. Art and creative work carried away, and the names of the teachers I. Brodsky, A. Osmyorkin, B. Ioganson, E. Serov, R. Frentz, A. Zaitsev, who had already entered the history of Russian art, turned their heads. In 1940, for excellent progress, Vadentin was awarded the highest student award - a state scholarship. Even then, Leontiev's leadership qualities appeared, and in 1938 he was elected a member of the Student Youth Council under the Central Committee of the Komsomol. For the diploma, he painted a large-scale painting "Children on the Volga" (headed by A.I. Savinov). These few Leningrad years were the happiest in Leontiev's life. After all, it was there, within the walls of the Academy, that he met a friend for life - Evsey Moiseenko, and there he met his only love, Tanya Edelson. The wedding was played in a student hostel in January 1941. But June 1941, like many young people of his generation, dramatically changed the life that had begun so wonderfully. The terrible word "War!" Leontiev and Moiseenko, academic scholarship holders, on whom great hopes were placed, were completely exempted from military service, but both made the only choice possible for them at that time: instead of defending their diploma, in July 1941 they signed up as volunteers in the people's militia. On a memorable day, a large group of students gathered at the Academy - future historians, artists, musicians - all of whom the slogan "Leningrad is in danger!" also did not leave indifferent. From there, everyone went first to the militia, and then to the front. Private of the 4th Volunteer Division, Leontiev participated in the construction of defensive fortifications around Leningrad. The militias dug the ground, constructing anti-tank ditches and pillboxes. After heavy fighting near Narva and Koenigsberg, some colonel undertook to take them out of the encirclement. And so it happened that led untrained soldiers directly to the Germans. So Leontiev was captured, and soon ended up in Germany. Repeated attempts to escape each time ended in raids and brutal reprisals. Finally, he was given as free slaves to a German farm, where he stayed until the arrival of the Red Army. It was a difficult time for Leontiev's wife, Tatyana: in November 1941, their son Vladik was born in Anapa. She survived nine months of occupation and the inability to learn anything about the fate of her husband. Freed from captivity, Leontiev served in the 128th separate communications battalion of the 24th Army of the Belorussian Front until October 1945, and all this time he tried to contact his relatives. He was considered missing. Finally, Valentin was reunited with his family, and then a wonderful portrait of his son appeared, which the artist painted on the same day - “Vladik. Meeting with my son. Leontiev's graduation work was lost during the war years. Having written under the guidance of B.V. Ioganson and V.A. Serov's new large painting "Meeting of the Winners" (280x350), Valentin in 1947 defended his diploma. The high commission rated...

William Fisher (1891 - 1985) William Fisher was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1891. He studied at the Brooklyn Institute of Art and Science and at Pratt Institute. Following service as an ambulance driver in WWI, he remained in Europe after the war and studied painting in Rome, Italy for one year. Upon his return from Rome, to New Jersey, he pursued his painting and began to teach small art classes. In the 1920's Fisher became a successful illustrator. His work appeared in Saturday Evening Post, Mc Calls, Harpers and other popular magazines. He later did pen and ink sketches for the Villager, a weekly Greenwich Village newspaper. Microfilmed pages of the Villager are preserved in New York University's Washington Square Library. His sketches also appeared on the cover of the Gotham Guide, which was sold Fridays at news stands in Manhattan. In partnership with Margaret Kilburn, an artist and crafts person, Fisher opened an art gallery and school at 33 West 8th St in NYC during the 1930s. They also opened a summer art gallery and school in 1949 in Kennebunkport, Maine, which ran for many years, and, after the NY gallery closed (around 1952), they made a full time commitment to living and working in Kennebunkport, Maine. Fisher was the recipient of over 100 awards. His work was widely exhibited in Philadelphia, Pa., Montclair, Trenton, and Newark, NJ, the Currier Gallery in New Hampshire and the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk, Maine. William Fisher and Margaret Kilburn were familiar and beloved figures in Kennebunkport. They taught generations of local children, and they participated in numerous exhibits with other artists, both in the Kennebunkport area and throughout Maine. Mr Fisher always insisted on marching in the local Memorial Day parade, until he was well in his 90's, because he didn't want to ride in a car provided for older veterans. Many homes in the Kennebunks have his works, including members of the Bush family, and they were purchased by numerous out of state and Canadian summer visitors. There are several examples of his works in the Kennebunkport Town Offices and in local churches. Fisher loved to paint "big" canvases, usually local Maine scenes...
