Jazep Drazdovič

1888 – 1954

Artist, ethnographer, graphic artist, sculptor, writer, folklorist and archaeologist. One of the founders of national historical painting.

Jazep Drazdovič is an extraordinary personality in Belarusian art history. He had a wide range of interests and was self-educated in several scientific disciplines. Among other things, he published a book on the origin and nature of the planets in the solar system. His fascination for celestial bodies went beyond the scientific level. Drazdovič called his dreams “astral flights”; every morning he made drawings of the scenes he remembered from his dreams, which were about life and events on Saturn, Mars or Moon. He often went on to produce paintings based on these dream sketches.

Lived and worked in Minsk.
