CATALOGUE NOTE

Yuri Petrovich Denike was a friend of Petr Konchalovsky whom the artist painted on two occasions in 1913, this monumental portrait and a double portrait of Denike together with A.D. Pokrovsky now in the Russian Museum, St. Petersburg. Denike was involved with the Jack of Diamonds group as a cultural commentator, reading a lecture entitled The Relationship between the Public and Art. The Jack of Diamonds were notorious in the press for what was seen as their scandalous approach.
Denike later emigrated to America where he published a journal for Russian emigrees living in the States.
