Yevgeny Lansere was born on August 23 (September 4), 1875 in Pavlovsk into a family that made an invaluable contribution to the development of Russian art.
The father of the future artist was the famous sculptor Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Lansere. His maternal grandfather, N. Benois, was an academician of architecture. The architect was his uncle, L. Benois, another uncle, the youngest of his mother's brothers, was also a famous Russian artist and art critic, who had a great influence on the formation of his nephew's artistic tastes.
Lansere's childhood passed in Ukraine, in the small estate of his father Neskuchnoye, where his younger sister, later also a famous artist, Zinaida Serebryakova, was born.
After the death of E.A. Lansere's mother moved with her children to St. Petersburg, to her father's house - the Benois House at Nikola Morsky, well-known in artistic circles.
Lansere's artistic abilities showed up early, so there was no doubt about choosing a profession.
In 1892, leaving the gymnasium, at the age of seventeen he entered the school of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, where he spent about four years (1892-1895); in those same years, he became a permanent member of the circle, from which he subsequently arose.
Under the influence of A. Benois and his friends, Eugene Lansere refused to enter the Academy of Arts and went to study in Paris. Classes in France continued until 1898.
The early period of Lansere's work, due to family and friendly ties, is closely connected with the "World of Art". But Lansere, experiencing a certain influence of A. Benois and, nevertheless, remained unaffected by the nostalgic retrospectivism characteristic of the World of Art.
First of all, Lansere became famous as a book graphic artist. His work in this area began with the design of the book by E. Balabanova "Legends of the ancient castles of Brittany" (St. Petersburg, 1899). The artist takes on his first major commission in 1898, having visited Brittany before that. In 1898, the artist exhibited his illustrations for Breton legends and fairy tales at an exhibition of Russian and Finnish artists organized by S. Diaghilev.
Lansere, being abroad, did not participate in the preparation of the first issues of the magazine, but from the second half of 1899 he was among its permanent employees. It was on the pages of the "World of Art" that the artist's long-term "vignetting activity" began, which later spread to the magazines "Art Treasures of Russia", "Children's Recreation" and many other publications.
Design of dozens of publications - books, almanacs, magazines; bookplates, postage and publishing stamps, art postcards - these are the areas in which the artist took part. Working on book graphics, Lansere believed that it was the decorative design, and not the illustration, that determined the artistic image of the book. Screensavers and endings seemed to him a more responsible and difficult task than illustrating an episode in the text. The stylistic and decorative-graphic unity of the book as an integral work of art has become for Lansere the practical principle of the designer's work. Yevgeny Lansere was the first among Russian artists to create a page-by-page layout for a book, creating a harmonious harmony of graphic elements. This innovation subsequently entered the practice of all masters of book graphics.
An important stage on the way to this high achievement of the artist was a long (from 1904 to 1912) work on the design of the book by A. Benois "Tsarskoye Selo in the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna". For "Tsarskoye Selo" (the book was designed by a number of artists), Lansere created several screensavers-illustrations with a developed plot beginning.
"Hadji Murad" by L. Tolstoy with illustrations by Lansere became the artist's best pre-revolutionary publication. The 1916 edition contained extensive cuts - the tsarist censorship did not allow Tolstoy's text containing an exposing characterization of Nicholas I to pass; the portrait of the tsar, interpreted satirically by Lansere, was not printed either. The full edition was published only in 1918.
However, easel graphics and painting were no less important in the artist's work. Lansere works a lot from nature - in the sphere of his interests are portrait sketches, landscape, numerous travel sketches.
In 1902 the artist made a trip to the Far East, visiting Manchuria and Japan. After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, in February 1904, Lansere received an order for art postcards with views of Port Arthur and Manchuria.
Revolutionary events of 1905-1906 form a noticeable milestone not only in the development of Lansere's work, but also in the process of becoming his personality. This period includes a number of outstanding works in the field of satirical magazine graphics, in which the artist appears as an independent and mature master with his own, fully developed attitude to art and life.
At that time, the artist participated in the publication of the satirical magazine "Spectator" (1905), collaborated in the "Zhupel", published with the participation of M. Gorky. After its prohibition, Lansere took over the publication of the successor to the Bogey, the Infernal Post magazine, for which he performed his best satirical drawings.
I first came into contact with work at Lancer at the very beginning of the 1900s, paying tribute to that passion for theater painting, which was characteristic of almost all representatives of the older generation of the World of Art.
The sketch of the scenery for the last act of "Sylvia" (1901) and the panel for "The Sanctuary of Patrick" (1911) staged by the Ancient Theater testify to Lansere's great skill in the field of architectural landscape.
The artist achieved his first achievements in the field of theatrical painting in 1907 - in the design of N. Evreinov's play "Fair for the Indictment of St. Denis" (otherwise "Street Theater"), undertaken jointly with Benois for the "Old Theater" in St. Petersburg.
Lansere's work in the theater was interrupted after 1911 for a relatively long period. The reason for this was the intensive work in the field of book illustration and monumental painting, as well as historical events that changed the fate of Russia and the very circle of the artist's activity.
Lansere is also engaged in applied arts: in 1912, having taken the post of head of the artistic part of the cutting factories, porcelain and glass factories of the "His Majesty's Cabinet", he not only controls the quality of products, but also offers several sketches and projects of artistic products.
Versatile artistic activity Lansere receives recognition and in 1912 he was awarded the title of academician, in 1916 he was elected a full member of the Academy of Arts.
Lanceray spends the last pre-revolutionary year in the countryside: he paints landscapes, considers the possibility of illustrating L. Tolstoy's Cossacks. The artist meets the news of the overthrow of the autocracy with enthusiasm. However, it is not possible to come to Petrograd, material and everyday difficulties force the artist and his family to seek refuge with friends in the Caucasus. For three years the artist lived in Dagestan, where he taught drawing at a gymnasium. In 1920 he moved to Tbilisi, where he worked as a draftsman at the Museum of Ethnography, went on ethnographic expeditions with the Caucasian Archaeological Institute. From 1922 to 1934 Lansere was a professor at the Tbilisi Academy of Arts.
With the move to Moscow (1933), a new stage of his activity begins, partly connected with the theater (“Woe from Wit” at the Maly Theater, 1938), but most of all with monumental painting (plafonds of the Kazansky railway station restaurant, the Moscow hotel, the hall of the Bolshoi Theater , a panel for the Komsomolskaya metro station, etc.).
The war prevented the implementation of everything planned. The master was able to return to work on the painting of the vestibule of the Kazan Station only in the spring of 1945. But he could not finish it - on October 12, 1946, Yevgeny Lansere died.
