February Azure

• ... that Russian artist Igor Grabar dug a trench in snow to paint February Azure (pictured) ? Source: Grabar, Igor Emmanuilovich (1937). Моя жизнь: автомонография [My Life: An Automonograph] (in Russian). p. 201 – via Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library. После этого я прорыя в глубоком снегу, свыше метра толщиной, траншею, в которой и поместился с мольбертом и большим холстом для того, чтобы получить впечатление низкого горизонта и небесного зенита, со всей градацией голубых-от светло-зеленого внизу до ультрамаринового наверху. (Afterward I dug a deep trench in the snow, more than one metre deep, in which I placed myself with my easel and a large canvas in order to get the impression of a low horizon and the celestial zenith, with all the gradations of blue—from light green below to ultramarine at the top.)
