By and large, Alexander p. Bubnov was self-taught. He studied for some time in 1919 at the art school in Atkarsk Saratov province. However, the school quickly shut down, the young Alexander Bubnov had studied drawing and painting under the guidance of a schoolteacher. Only in 1926, after the end of the nine-year boy came to Moscow and entered the Higher art and technical Institute (VHUTEIN). In 1930, A. Bubnov finished College and serving for two years on Kuznetskstroy, where he works as a Junior architect. In these times, it is clear, not to a great painting. Only after his return in 1932 in Moscow AP Bubnov refers to the main cause of his later life. Further, it is interesting to listen to the artist: "...tried to write, I became convinced that there is little they can do. This time he began to work very much. First job — "Killed in battle" — exhibited at the exhibition "15 years the red army", the second "White city" — the exhibition of young artists in 1934. In 1936 I wrote a picture Oktyabrina, which was exhibited at the "Industrialization of socialism." In all of these paintings I could not and did not enjoy nature, and all of them are written without a model... In the film "Apple", though not fully, but quite a lot of writing on nature. During the great Patriotic war worked on the poster, made drawings for magazines and leaflets, etc. Graphics I love and often work in this area. For the exhibition of 1947 I finished a great historical picture — "morning on the Kulikovo field", for which I was awarded the State prize". Well, will, talent and labour have a lot to talk about. A. Bubnov, thanks to these qualities, grew up in the great Soviet artist.
