He was the youngest child. He had older sisters Masha (born in 1909)[6] and Betya (born in 1911), and brothers David (born in 1904), Lev (born in 1907), and Moisey (born in 1912). He began his artistic training at the studio of Academician N. S. Samokish. Simferopol native Memet Abselyamov also studied at Samokish's studio from 1928 to 1934. On N. S. Samokish's recommendation, he continued his studies at the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture from 1933 to 1937. He completed the workshops of Pavel Naumov, Dmitry Kardovsky, and Vasily Shukhaev. From 1941 to 1946, he served in the Soviet Army and fought in the Great Patriotic War. From 1946, he lived and worked in Crimea, in Alupka and Yalta. He worked there for over 50 years, traveling to work in central Russia, Karelia, Yakutia, and Ukraine. In 1997, the Alupka City Museum of Painting was opened, based on a collection of paintings donated to the city of Alupka. The artist's works have been exhibited in 63 solo and numerous group exhibitions in Ukraine and Russia, and in 37 exhibitions in 22 countries worldwide, including Canada, Holland, Norway, Austria, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Poland, the USA, Italy, Spain, England, and France. Over 600 works were donated by the artist to Crimean museums, and over 100 works are in the collections of 42 museums in Ukraine and abroad. Collections of Yakov Basov's works are part of the permanent exhibitions of the Livadia Palace Museum and the Alupka State Palace and Park Reserve. Yakov Basov died on March 16, 2004, in Alupka at the age of 90. Basov's works are based on the principle of anthropocentrism. This principle is the core and driving force behind the evolution of the artist's artistic style, the starting point for his aesthetic reflections. According to the artist, dialogism and co-creation are the foundations of contemporary painting and art in general: they become possible in a work through "correct understatement." This understatement is intended to awaken in the viewer a desire to complete the painting, that is, to think and feel its full meaning. Thus, the painting becomes not only an object of detached contemplation but also a personal creative object. In his works, Y. Basov strives to "translate the viewer into his orbit, speed, and rhythm, thereby enabling them to 'connect.' Not to influence them by suppressing their inherent 'speed,' but to lead them into a free flight of a beautiful sense of life." The artist's primary genre is l
