Georgiy Zimin (Born 1900- Died -1985) was a well-known Russian painter and photographer who worked in Moscow for his entire life. After graduating from VKhUTEMAS in 1920, he showed regularly at exhibitions curated by the Russian Art of Movement group. In the late 1920s, he experimented with photograms, comparable to those made by his contemporary, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy.
Zimin received his training at the Stroganov Art School in Moscow and later at Vkhutemas, the bastion of Avant-garde art instruction whose teachers included Kliun, Malevich, and Rodchenko. While a student, Zimin worked on the monumental panneau for the festive days of the Moscow streets. He later worked in theatrical design, and book and exhibitiion design. Zimin is especailly well-known, however, for his work with experimental photograms.
