Biographical data about the author
Danail DECHEV Nedev was born on March 20, 1891 in Razgrad. Danail Dechev has no academic education – he graduated from the Industrial Textile School in Sliven. Perhaps thanks to this, he managed to expand the scope of the concept of “landscape” in Bulgarian art, creating expansive panoramic paintings and compositions against a landscape background. From 1919 to 1939 he lived in Plovdiv, and after 1939 – in Sofia, but in reality he rarely stayed in one place, as he traveled around the country and painted. He opened his first solo exhibition in Sofia in 1933. In 1958, a jubilee exhibition of Danail Dechev was organized. On January 1, 1962, the artist was paralyzed. He died on August 5, 1962 in Sofia
