Human and Nature in the works of E. I. Gatilova and G. N. Glickman

In 2021 we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Evgenia Ilyinichna Gatilova (1921-2021) and Gennady Naumovich Glickman (1921-1991). These talented artists have a lot in common despite working in different fields of art. Both of them were scarred by war at a young age and both of them learned from outstanding animal artists who had a great impact on their art. The authors are brought together by their admiration for the world of Nature, which they both tirelessly celebrated. This is why it is so interesting to discover similarities and differences in their artworks.

Evgenia Ilyinichna Gatilova is a sculptor and a porcelain artist. She was a member of the Moscow Union of Artists (1947) and a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR (1956). E. I. Gatilova was awarded People's Artist of Russia in 2006. In 1939 after graduating from school, Evgenia began her way in sculpture. Her first teacher was B.N. Lange. In 1941 the institute she attended was evacuated to Samarkand due to the start of World War II. However, E.I. Gatilova chose to stay in Moscow. In 1949 she graduated from the Moscow Institute of Applied and Decorative Art and continued to work at the sculpture department of the institute as a teacher. Since 1956 she worked at Dulevo Porcelain Manufactory and created more than 200 artworks. Her solo exhibitions were held in 1982 in Leningrad and in 1986 in Moscow.
