Art critic Ray Boynton said of his work, “A real revelation. There is a lavishness of form and color, and the whole effect is lyrical.” Ill with tuberculosis, "Niko" Nedashkovksy died in San Francisco on Jan. 2, 1924 at age 27. Exh: EastWest Art Society (SF), 1922; Courtyard Studio (SF), 1922 (with Scherbakoff); CSFA, 1927 (memorial). | Source:
