Nikolai (Nicholas) Semyonovich Bogolubov was an American artist of Russian descent. He was born in 1924 in Novi Bečej, Yugoslavia. After World War II, as a refugee, he ended up in Allied-occupied Germany. There, he studied at the Munich Art Academy, completing two years of training. In 1950 he emigrated to the United States. He continued his art education in New York City at the National Academy School of Fine Arts (National Academy of Design) beginning in 1952 and graduating in 1956.
At the National Academy, Bogolubov was recognized as an exceptional and talented student. He received numerous awards during his tenure there that included the William H. Fogg Merit Scholarship in 1954 and 1955 as well as the Dr. Ralph Weiler Oil Painting Prize in 1956. He also received the very prestigious Julius Hallgarten Painting Prize in 1956.
While still attending the National Academy, galleries noticed Bogolubov’s work, and his paintings were exhibited at the highly regarded Kaymar Gallery. His work also was shown numerous times at other galleries, including the Ahda Artz Art Gallery, the Russian Artists Association Group Exhibitions at the Barbizon Plaza, and the Allied Artists of America, Inc.
