Biography

Nenov was born on May 17, 1902 in Sofia.[1] He was the husband of Ekaterina Savova-Nenova. He was member of the Bulgarian Academy of Fine Arts. In the early 1940s his studio was destroyed in the bombings of Sofia during World War II.[2]

In the 1950s Nenov was prohibited from exhibiting his paintings, and dismissed from the Academy of Fine Arts for being a Formalist. Subsequently he began working with clay.[2]

Nevon died on April 9, 1997 in Sofia.[1]

In 2012 the Sofia City Art Gallery held a retrospective of Nevon's work.[2]
