Andrei Nikolaevich KRASULIN was born in Moscow in 1934. He took up sculpting seriously when he was still in high school. In 1953, he enrolled in the Stroganov Higher School of Art and Design, concentrating on monumental and decorative sculpture. In his own words, this schooling filled him with revulsion against the conventional conception, prevalent in post-WWII Russia, of what constituted sculpture.
