Igor Vitalievich Savitsky - Honored Art Worker of Uzbekistan, National Artist of Karakalpakstan, Laureate of the State Prize named after Berdakh, Laureate of the Buyuk Hizmatlari Uchun Order (posthumously). He was born on August 4 in 1915 in Kiev, in the family of the lawyer, Vitaly Viktorovich Savitsky and Vera Timofeevna Florinskaya. In the early 1920s, the Savitsky family moved to Moscow. There Igor took private lessons from artists. In 1930-31, Igor Vitalievich studied at art courses. Then he studied at home with the artists Elena Sakhnovskaya and Ruvim Mazel. In 1934, he entered the graphic department of the Polygraphic Institute, where he studied for two years. In 1936-38, he continued his studies at the art school "Imeni 1905". In 1938-41, Savitsky studied at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Artists at the department of monumental painting, in the studio of the artist L. Kramarenko. In 1941, when the World War II began, Savitsky entered the Moscow Art Institute. V.I.Surikov. His teachers there were Robert Falk and Konstantin Istomin.
In 1942, the Institute Surikov was evacuated to Samarkand. The years of evacuation in Samarkand played a crucial role in the life and work of Savitsky. Central Asia has sunk into the soul of the young artist forever. Here he became closer to his teachers Robert Falk, Konstantin Istomin and Nikolai Ulyanov, but, according to Savitsky himself, colors and light of Samarkand and Central Asia became no less important school for him.
The opportunity to return here appeared in 1950, when Savitsky was offered to take part in the Khorezm archaeological and ethnographic expedition to Karakalpakstan, organized by the Institute of Ethnography of the USSR Academy of Sciences. As a permanent artist, he worked on this expedition from 1950 to 1957.
With the opening of the museum in February 1966, Savitsky devoted himself entirely to replenishing the museum collection. From that time on, he began to collect paintings by other artists, but not only famous ones, but also many completely unknown and unrecognized at that time. In a short time he managed to assemble a unique collection that made his name famous all over the world. Today it is called the second collection of paintings by the Russian avant-garde after the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Until the end of his life, Savitsky searched and found new masterpieces for his museum. On July 27, 1984, I.V Savitsky, after a long illness, died in a hospital in Moscow. Igor Vitalievich Savitsky was buried at the Russian cemetery in Nukus.
