In the life of Boris Kustodiev
The whole life1918
Decorates Petrograd for the first anniversary of October
After the Revolution Kustodiev helped decorate Petrograd for the first anniversary of the October Revolution, and drew posters, popular prints and pictures on revolutionary themes.
1918–1921
Opera designs: “The Snow Maiden”, “The Tsar's Bride”
His opera designs were a success: “The Snow Maiden” for the Bolshoi Theatre (1918, never staged), “The Tsar's Bride” at the Bolshoi Opera Theatre of the People's House (1920), and set and costume designs for Serov's “The Power of the Fiend” at the former Mariinsky Theatre (1921).
1922–1923
Illustrates Leskov
With his fine feeling for line, Kustodiev illustrated Leskov's “The Darner” (1922) and “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District” (1923); he also worked in lithography and linocut.
1925
Designs Zamyatin's “The Flea”
The productions of “The Flea” at the Second Moscow Art Theatre (1925) and the Leningrad Bolshoi Drama Theatre (1926) were a success. The director A. D. Diky recalled that he had nothing to correct in the designs: “The artist led the whole production.”
March 1927
Permission to seek treatment in Germany
The People's Commissariat for Education allowed Kustodiev to go to Germany for treatment at O. Förster's clinic, and the government provided the money, but the journey never took place: in May he died of acute pneumonia (other accounts say tuberculosis).
28 May 1927
