Abstract

The article is dedicated to the early painting and graphic works of Viktor Ivanovich Ufimtsev, who was one of the most prominent 'leftist' artists of the Omsk avant-garde during the 1910s and early 1920s. The works were received by the West Siberian Regional Museum in 1935 as part of the extensive archive of the Omsk writer A.S. Sorokin. They were discovered only in the late 1970s, along with the works of other masters such as A.M. Gromov, N.A. Mamontov, V.A. Tronov, V.K. Ettel and B.S. Shabl-Tabulevich. The study of the anonymous works, which constituted a significant part of A.S. Sorokin's archive, was carried out through a stylistic analysis in comparison with the reference works of V.I. Ufimtsev. The artist's diaries, which were acquired by the M.A. Vrubel Omsk Regional Museum of Fine Arts in 2009, played an important role in clarifying the titles and dates.
