Matvey Genrikhovich Manizer (Russian: Матвей Генрихович Манизер; 17 March [O.S. 5 March] 1891 – 20 December 1966) was a Russian sculptor. Manizer created a number of works that became classics of socialist realism.
Life
Manizer was born in Saint Petersburg into the family of Genrikh Manizer (Russian: Генрих Манизер, German: Heinrich Maniser), a prominent Memel-born artist of Baltic German descent.
As a student Manizer attended the Saint Petersburg State Artistic and Industrial Academy, and the art school of the Peredvizhniki from 1911 through 1916. From 1926 he was a member of the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia. In 1941 he moved to Moscow.
Working in an academic and realistic style, Manizer produced a great number of monuments situated throughout the Soviet Union, including some twelve portrayals of Lenin. Manizer was awarded the People's Artist of the USSR (1958), Member of USSR Academy of Arts (1947), vice president of USSR Academy of Arts (1947-1966), chairman of the Saint Petersburg Union of Artists from 1937 to 1941, and three-time laureate of the Stalin Prize.
Manizer's wife Yelena Yanson-Manizer (1890-1971) was also sculptor, with her work at Moscow Metro's Dinamo station. Their son, Gugo Manizer (1927-2016), was a noted painter. Among Manizer's students was the Stalin Prize-winning Fuad Abdurakhmanov.
Manizer is buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery.
