1897 - 1971
He began as a drummer in almost the first Soviet jazz - the ensemble of V. Parnakh. Then a long artistic career: the Meyerhold Theatre, the Revolution Theatre and, finally, the Mossovet Theatre. A student of D. Kardovsky, he was a great draftsman and created an extensive gallery of acting portraits.
During a trip to the Navy, he made about twenty portraits of Heroes of the Soviet Union and sailors, these portraits hang in the Museum of the Armed Forces. He was filmed as a musician in the film “Merry Guys”, in Chekhov’s “Wedding”; Andron Konchalovsky invited him to the role of Lem in “Noble Nest”. And Zavadsky used his musical talent and Meyerhold’s sharpness and grotesqueness in the second version of the performance “Masquerade”, elevating it to the conductor’s remote in the orchestra, where Kostomolotsky, conducting musicians, his face and expressive hand gestures embodied the spirit of villainy and devilishness that circled around Arbenin.
He passed away in 1971.
