person
Yurgenson
also: Юргенсон
An illustrator (the question mark is Chekhov's own, signaling his uncertainty about the signature) whose drawing in an 1887 issue of Oskolki Chekhov singles out for harsh criticism as a crude tavern-house daub; not otherwise identified in the surviving correspondence.
Reading notes
- To N. A. Leikin, 21 August 1887. Babkino. §4 Yurgenson's (?) daub
The question mark is Chekhov's own, signaling his own uncertainty over the artist's signature; part of a burst of sharply worded aesthetic criticism aimed at a run of illustrations in the latest "Oskolki" that Chekhov judged crude and amateurish.
