The Artist (Russian: Артист) was an illustrated Russian magazine on theatre, music, literature and fine arts published in Moscow in 1889-1895. It was coming out monthly but only during the theatre seasons, from September till April. The playwright, translator and theatre critic Fyodor Kumanin was the journal's founder, publisher and originally its editor (N.N. Novikov held the post in 1894-1895). Another important figure instrumental with the launching of this biggest theatrical publication in Russia was Sergey Yuriev.[1]
In 1891 the magazine started to publish two supplements, Dnevnik Artista (Artist's Diary) and Teatralnaya Biblioteka (Theatre Library, continued up until 1898).[2]
