Peter Ganine (October 11, 1900 – August 11, 1974) was a Russian-American sculptor best known for his work in ceramics and his chess sets.
Ganine began his art studies in Russia. He spent five years as a trader in the Belgian Congo[4] before coming to the US in 1931,[5] on a scholarship to Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.[3] He settled in Hollywood in 1932, where he lived until his death.[1][6][4] His work was championed by longtime Los Angeles Times art editor and critic Arthur Millier.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
He served as an aircraft patternmaker during World War II.[4]
The subjects of Ganine's sculptures were largely people or animals.[13][3][14] He patented many of his animal sculptures, which were then reproduced in plastic and sold inexpensively.[4][3][13] His most popular designs were a whale, which won a prize from the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art,[4] and an "upcapsizeable duck", of which over 50,000,000 were sold.[3] When Ganine gave human faces to chess pieces, he introduced "first major change of design for chess sets in more than a century."[15]
