Pavel Filonov was a prominent Russian art theorist, painter, and poet. He began art lessons in St. Petersburg at around fourteen years of age, and in 1908, at around age 25, entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. After his expulsion from the Academy in 1910, he joined the Russian art group Soyuz Molodyozhi, and was a contributor to the group’s magazine. In 1912, he published an essay The Canon and the Law in which he expounded his ideas on analytical realism, also known as “Universal Flowering,” which refuted the surface geometry of cubism. Filonov’s artistic philosophy revolved around the desire to reveal the inner soul of the objects in the painting, a belief system he remained devoted to his entire life. Later in his artistic career he was also close to Russian futurist painters Vladimir Mayakovsky and Velimir Khlebnikov.
Upon the beginning of World War I, Filonov enlisted and served on the Romanian front. Perhaps his experiences in the war led him to also be an active member in the Russian Revolution of 1917, serving as Chairman of the Revolutionary War Committee of Dunay Region. His first exhibition was in 1919, after the tumult of the war and revolution, and beginning in 1923 served as a professor at the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, the same academy from which he had been expelled thirteen years earlier.
During his career he organized the large art school of Master of Analytical Realism, which eventually had up to seventy members. Staying true to his artistic theory, Filonov rarely made money from his paintings, as he refused to sell them to individual patrons. His desire was to give them all to the Russian Museum as a gift, so they could start a Museum of Analytical Realism. His economic hardships worsened, however, due to the strict Soviet restrictions on artists and their exhibitions, and he starved to death in 1941, during the Nazi Siege of Leningrad.
For a time after his death, it was forbidden to exhibit any of Filonov’s works, which would have made them easy to steal. There was a legend, however, that his paintings were protected by the ghost of Filonov, and anyone trying to steal them would die, become paralyzed, or suffer a terrible misfortune. Filonov’s desire to gift his works to the Russian Museum was finally realized after his death, when many of his works, which had been saved by his sister, were given to the museum.
帕維爾·菲洛諾夫是俄羅斯著名的藝術理論家，畫家和詩人。他在大約14歲時開始在聖彼得堡上藝術課，1908年，大約25歲時，他進入了聖彼得堡藝術學院。在1910年被學院開除後，他加入了俄羅斯藝術團體Soyuz Molodyozhi，並成為該團體雜誌的撰稿人。 1912年，他發表了一篇文章“佳能與法律”，闡述了他對分析現實主義的看法，也稱為“通用開花”，它反駁了立體主義的表面幾何形狀。菲洛諾夫的藝術哲學圍繞著展現繪畫中物體內在靈魂的願望，這是他一生致力於信仰體系。在他的藝術生涯後期，他也接近俄羅斯未來主義畫家弗拉基米爾馬雅科夫斯基和韋利米爾赫勒布尼科夫。
第一次世界大戰開始時，菲洛諾夫入伍並在羅馬尼亞戰線上服役。也許他在戰爭中的經歷使他成為1917年俄國革命的積極成員，擔任杜奈地區革命戰爭委員會主席。他的第一次展覽是在1919年戰爭和革命的騷動之後，並於1923年開始擔任聖彼得堡美術學院的教授，這是他十三年前被驅逐出去的同一所學院。
在他的職業生涯中，他組織了分析現實主義大型藝術學校，最終有七十名成員。 Filonov堅持他的藝術理論，很少從他的畫作中賺錢，因為他拒絕將它們賣給個人讚助。他的願望是將他們全部送到俄羅斯博物館作為禮物，這樣他們就可以開設一個分析現實主義博物館。然而，由於蘇聯嚴格限製藝術家和他們的展覽，他的經濟困境惡化，並且他在1941年納粹列寧格勒納齊圍攻期間餓死了。
在他去世後的一段時間裡，禁止展出菲洛諾夫的任何作品，這些作品很容易被盜。然而，有一個傳說，他的畫作受到菲洛諾夫鬼魂的保護，任何試圖竊取他們的人都會死亡，癱瘓或遭受可怕的不幸。菲洛諾夫將他的作品送到俄羅斯博物館的願望終於在他去世後得以實現，當時他的許多作品都是由他的妹妹保存下來的。
