      The artist passed away in 2016 at the age of 85 after a long illness, reports "Ъ-Ural." Misha Brusilovsky was born on May 7, 1931, in Kyiv. After graduating from the Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in Leningrad, he arrived in Sverdlovsk in 1959 for distribution.

      In the Ural capital, he taught at the Ivan Shadr Art College and worked as an illustrator.

      In 2017, a museum dedicated to Misha Brusilovsky opened in Yekaterinburg at the "Art Bird" gallery.

      The creation of the memorial plaque involved sculptors Nikolai Predein and Vladimir Kravtsev. Master Yuri Krylov cast it from bronze in the workshop of Ivan Dubrovina, reports 66.RU.

      The plaque was installed on the facade of the building at 15 Engels Street, where two years ago, Yevgeny Roizman* (*listed by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent) opened a museum dedicated to the artist. The collection largely consists of Brusilovsky's paintings, which are part of the personal collection of the former mayor of Yekaterinburg.

      Roizman* was directly involved in the creation of both museum exhibitions.
