Artist of the Day, May 9, 2022: Ivan Nenov, a Bulgarian painter (#1564)

Ivan Nenov (1902–1997) was a Bulgarian painter. He was born in Sofia. He was the husband of Ekaterina Savova-Nenova. He was member of the Bulgarian Academy of Fine Arts. In the early 1940s his studio was destroyed in the bombings of Sofia during World War II.

In the 1950s Nenov was prohibited from exhibiting his paintings, and dismissed from the Academy of Fine Arts for being a Formalist. Subsequently, he began working with clay.

In 2012 the Sofia City Art Gallery held a retrospective of Nenov's work.
