“I Am Home,” 1962–1979
“I Am Home,” 1962–1979
Arnautoff emigrated to the Soviet Union in 1963 and lived there until his death in 1979. Living first in Mariupol (then called Zhdanov), he again created large public murals, this time using small ceramic tiles. In adjusting to Soviet society under Khrushchev and then Brezhnev, Arnautoff was privileged by his status and his American dollars from his small Stanford pension, and his marriage to a Soviet art critic. He and his second wife moved to Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) where he continued to paint until his death.
Keywords: Arnautoff’s Mariupol (Ukraine) murals, Soviet society under Khrushchev, Soviet society under Brezhnev
