Excerpt from Mr. Andrianov's biography: "----At Piotr's last school exhibitionhis his work drew the attention of Igor Grabar, rector of the Moscow Fine Art Institute and one of Russia’s greatest painters in his own right. Igor Grabar invited Piotr Andrianov to join his first year students at their practical work session in Troitskoe Village near Moscow. The young artist did so and began a period of fruitful and difficult study. ---"
