Prokofiev

Prokofiev’s career as an artist began at sixteen, attending the Moscow School of Art from 1944 to 1949. On completing his studies, Prokofiev worked in the studio of the painter Robert Falk, leaving in 1952 to work for the Institute of Art History in Moscow. There he studied and published his writing, specializing in the ancient arts of India and South-East Asia. As the second son of composer Sergei Prokofiev, he wrote that his father's music inspired in him ‘a wave of some wonderful energy…a poetic or artistic impulse’.
