Victor Musatov (he appended the name Borisov later) was born on April
14, 1870 in Saratov, Russia, in the family of a minor railway
official who had been a serf. In his early childhood he had suffered a
bad fall, which left him humpbacked for the rest of his life. The tact
and understanding of his parents, who encouraged his fondness for art,
and the lessons of the young painter Konovalov contributed much to the
formation of his artistic personality. Read more of Borisov-Musatov's biography...
