He was a Latvian by nationality (real name – Aleksandrs R\u016bdolfs Dr\u0113vi\u0146\u0161), was a bearer of the traditions of the Riga art school. In 1920, they got married, thus their life and creative paths crossed, and in the following years they came noticeably closer to each also other in their pictorial thinking. Spouses often went on creative business trips together. In the 1920s and early 1930s, they worked together – first in Altai, then in Armenia. Altai literally stunned Drevin with its extraordinary beauty. He wrote about this in his memoirs. In Professor Abrahamyan\u2019s collection, Drevin is represented by works \u201cAltai. A Dry Birch,\u201d \u201cAltai. A Storm in the Steppe,\u201d \u201cPink Landscape with a White House\u201d, in which the artist achieves an unusually strong expression of the drawing and color.
Udaltsova is represented by several landscapes of the Armenian cycle and late still life. In the landscape \u201cArmenia. Work in the Vineyard\u201d behind of the workers\u2019 figures are bent trees, as if the ground is moving. In two other landscapes – \u201cArmenia. Nork\u201d and \u201cLandscape.
