Biography
Gennady Kalinovsky was born on September 1st, 1929 in Stavropol. Shortly after his birth his family moved to Mahachkala where he spent his childhood.

As a schoolboy, he joined an art circle in the local Young Pioneer Organization of the Soviet Union. In 1943 he sent his painting "The Demise of Nibelungs" to the artist competition held by the Pionerskaya Pravda newspaper. The painting received the highest mark and its author won a scholarship to study in Moscow's high school of arts. Kalinovsky moved to Moscow where he finished high school and then went on to study in the Surikov college of the arts in the book artwork department. He studied there from 1949 to 1955.
