Shadr [Ivanov], Ivan (Dmitriyevich)
(b Shadrinsk [now in Kurgan region], Russia, 11 Feb 1887; d Moscow, 3 April 1941). Russian sculptor. He took his pseudonym from the town where he was born. His father was a carpenter, and he studied at the Artistic Industrial School in Yekaterinburg with the Latvian sculptor Teodors Zalkalns (1876–1972) from 1903 to 1907, and from 1907 to 1908 at the drawing school of the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in St Petersburg. He later studied with Auguste Rodin and Emile-Antoine Bourdelle in Paris (1910–11), and in Rome (1911–12). His early works, such as the project for the memorial to World Suffering (1916; see Voronova, 1978, p. 16), were created in an Art Nouveau style. After the Revolution of 1917 he was an active participant in the execution of the Monumental Propaganda Plan. In these years the characteristics of Shadr’s style were consolidated: an elevated, romantic organization of the figures and an emotional, dynamic composition.
