Shtiglits School of Design

    0.01 sec.
Shtiglits School of Design 

(full name, Baron Shtiglits Central School of Design; TsUTR), a school founded in 1876 in St. Petersburg under the patronage of A. L. Shtiglits. Opened with the Primary School of Drawing, Drafting, and Sculpting in 1879, the Shtiglits School merged with the Petrograd Vkhutein (Higher Art and Technical Institute) in 1922. Its purpose was to prepare individuals for teaching drawing and decorative applied art in industrial arts schools. A number of outstanding Russian and Soviet artists studied at the school, including M. G. Manizer, I. N. Pavlov, and A. F. Pakhomov.

In 1945, the Shtiglits School was reorganized into what is now the V. I. Mukhina Leningrad Higher Industrial Arts School.
