Description
In 1919, during the Russian Civil War, Olga was denounced and arrested by the new government for transferring messages written by political prisoners.
His attempts to free her failed, and only served to make his situation dangerous, so he sought refuge with relatives in Crimea and, when the opportunity arose, emigrated to Greece.
After arriving, he spent several years travelling throughout the Peloponnese, Crete, and the islands on the west coast, painting landscapes and architectural sites. Eventually, due to her father’s influence, Olga was freed and, with some searching, was able to rejoin him. After that, she essentially became his manager.
In 1929, they settled on Skyros, where he became ill with malaria and died as a result of an incorrect diagnosis and improper treatment. Later that year, Olga presented a major retrospective of his works in Athens and, the following year, in London. Some sources indicate that he actually died in London, but this apparently derives from his frequent visits there to exhibit, and to confusion with Olga who did, in fact, die there in 1963.
