Gouri Rinov - 1902-1966 "An Artist Pilgrimage" By Walt Schnabel

Gouri Ivanov-Rinov entered the Dublin art world through a different door than most of the other
artists.  He was not from a well-to-do New England family, nor had he access to a private school education or to study art in Europe.

Hewas born in Turkistan, Russia, in 1902. ----- In 1920 his family fled the Revolution to China.
---he was able to get a job as a deck hand on a freighter to earn his passage to the United States,
In December of 1922, Ivanov-Rinov arrived in Portland Oregon, with $7.00 in his pocket and no
English in his vocbulary.
----During the summers of 1925 to 1932 Rinov was the scenic designer for a theater in Falmouth,Massachusetts.
---------Perhaps this was a joyous view of New England through the eye of a naturalized American.
