Mikhail Tarkhanov (painter)

Mikhail Mikhailovich Tarkhanov (4 November 1888, Zenkov, Poltava Governorate, Imperial Russia, modern Ukraine – 12 March 1962, Moscow, USSR) was a Russian and Soviet painter known for his "Picturesque Textured Improvisations", abstract water based textured compositions. He studied at the Stroganov Moscow State University of Arts and Industry where he graduated in 1915. After being called to the Russian army in 1916 and 1919 as an artist-topographer and draftsman, he entered the VKhUTEMAS, the Russian state art and technical school, in 1921. His teachers were Vasili Kandinsky, Vladimir Favorsky and Nikolay Kupreyanov. He worked for many Soviet institutions as he pursued his abstract work, which were restricted in the communist Russia.[1]

gollark: I can't initiate guessing. We haven't done the submissions.
gollark: I suppose that means you can get away with ones which are very rarely lossy.
gollark: Losslessness will be tested by randomly generating a lot of inputs and compressing and decompressing them, probably.
gollark: But that sounds like a few cryoapioforms in many ways.
gollark: Well, I could make the challenge be to make your own compression algorithm, with the constraints that there must be some inputs which it makes shorter and it must always be lossless.
