Evgeny Kropivnitsky, a Moscow painter and poet, initially worked in a variety of styles, gravitating mainly towards cubism and expressionism, close to the painters of the ‘Jack of Diamonds' group. In the 1950s, he became one of the founders and leaders of the Lianozovo group of non- conformist artists, based first in the Kropivnitsky house and then in the flat of Kropivnitsky's son-in-law, Oskar Rabin, in
Lianozovo. The artist's works can be found in the Russian National Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
