Georgy Bogdanovich Yakulov (January 2 (14), 1884, — December 28, 1928) was a Russian painter and art theorist of Armenian descent. A notable artisan in Moscow during the Silver Age and early Soviet era, he was close to the circle of avant-garde innovators, he actively interacted with various artistic movements (cubism, futurism, imaginism, constructivism), but was not a member of any of the art groups, was looking for his own visual method, combining the culture of the East and the culture of the West. The ideas put forward by him "the theory of light and the origin of styles in art", called the "theory of multi-colored suns", developed by the French artist Robert Delaunay.
