Boris Artzybasheff (1899-1965) was born and raised in Russia and immigrated to America at the age of twenty. Artzybasheff is best remembered for his 'anthropomorphizing' of machines into living creatures.

The definition of anthropomorphizing should not include making your machines wildly bizarre, crazy, or nightmarish - but in case of Boris Artzybasheff it simply comes with the territory.
