Victor Arnautoff reigned as San Francisco's best mural painter through the New Deal period. but that was once in basic terms a part of an magnificent existence trip from Tsarist officer to leftist painter. Robert W. Cherny's masterful biography of Arnautoff braids the artist's paintings together with his more and more leftist politics and the tenor of his instances. Delving into assets on Russian émigrés and San Francisco's arts groups, Cherny strains Arnautoff's existence from refugee artwork scholar and assistant to Diego Rivera to prominence within the New Deal's paintings tasks and a school place at Stanford college. As Arnautoff's politics moved left, he usually included operating humans and other people of colour into his therapy of the yank previous and current. within the Fifties, besides the fact that, his participation in leftist firms and a hugely severe caricature of Richard Nixon landed him sooner than the home Un-American actions Committee and ended in demands his dismissal from Stanford. Arnautoff finally departed the US, a refugee of one other sort, now fleeing own loss and the disintegration of the left-labor tradition that had nurtured him, earlier than resuming his creative occupation within the Soviet Union that he had fought in his adolescence to destroy.
