Biography
Born in 1876 to a family of Astrakhan merchants.
The merchant family Dogadins in Astrakhan dates back to the end of the 18th century . The merchant of the 2nd guild, a member of the City Vowel of the Duma, Mikhail Pavlovich Dogadin - the father of Pavel Mikhailovich Dogadin - stood at the head of the Trading House “M. P. Dogadin and sons. " In 1908 , after the death of his father and mother, it was Pavel Mikhailovich who took charge of the business of trading in hardware. Prior to this, he received a good education and engineering specialty [1] .
In the early 1910s he was fascinated by the idea of creating an art gallery in his hometown. For these purposes, he sent a cash deposit to Moscow so that the famous collector A.G. Golikov acquired several paintings for him. In 1912, Golikov bought him the first three paintings: a sketch for “Flowering Meadow” by I. I. Levitan , “Valaam” by I. I. Shishkin and “Volga. Clouds ”by I. L. Kalmykov [2] .
For five years (1912-1917) Dogadin assembled an impressive collection in his own house: more than a hundred paintings and graphic works, about ninety autographs of writers, poets, musicians, historical figures.
Thoughts on transferring his collection to the ownership of the city began to visit P.M. Dogadin in 1916 . The events of October 1917 forced him to make a final decision - Dogadin wrote to the city of the collection along with the mansion and the library.
He died in December 1919 of typhoid . He was buried in the family crypt next to his parents in the Intercession-Boldinsky monastery [3] .
Dogadin invested all his money in the creation of an art museum, because the funeral was carried out at the public expense. From the minutes of the meeting of the Presidium of the Council of Unions on January 25, 1920 [2] :
“Chairman - Trofimov,
Secretary is Eifert.
They listened: a motion by the Council of the Art Gallery of January 17 this year to cover the costs associated with the burial of P. M. Dogadin.
Resolved: to accept at the expense of the cultural department an expense of 4,000 rubles for the purchase of the coffin, transportation of the body and the opening of the crypt.
Memory
As part of the implementation of publishing projects for the 450th anniversary of the founding of Astrakhan, the book “Collection of Pavel Dogadin” by Tatyana Slobodskikh from the series “Astrakhan Provincial Library” was published.
Museum
Since the museum fund after the death of Dogadin increased three times, his house became cramped [4] . On August 12, 1921, the beautiful three-story mansion of merchant Plotnikov on Bolshaya Dmitrovskaya (now Sverdlova Street) was transferred to the gallery, where the collection moved on August 12 and is still here. Dogadin’s house was forgotten; he was squeezed by new buildings located nearby.
In 1958, by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, the museum (art gallery) was named after B. M. Kustodiev [5] .
In 2008, the gallery was renamed the Astrakhan State Art Gallery named after P. M. Dogadin [6] .
