Dmitry Stakhiyevich Moor (real surname was Orlov) was born<br />

Moscow.<br />

Dmitry Moor did not get systematic art education; in 19<strong>10</strong><br />

he attended P.I. Kelin’s school studio. Originally he worked at<br />

Mamontov’s Printing House. From 1907 he had his caricatures<br />

published in print media, in particular in the liberal satirical<br />

<strong>magazine</strong> Budilnik.<br />

During his work in the Moscow <strong>magazine</strong> Budilnik the young artist<br />

took the pseudonym Moor, since Karl Moor – the main character<br />

of The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller – was akin to the creative<br />

temperament of the artist, so passionate and consecutive in his<br />

vehement aspirations for politically topical art that would extensively<br />

influence the viewers.<br />
