A Russian-born painter and stage designer, Pavel Tchelitchew worked in many styles, changing several times and doing much experimentation. He was especially "known for his almost surrealist renderings of the human body without its skin, similar to anatomical studies." (Falk, 3263). He began as a Cubist, and did modernist figure paintings in the style of Picasso and then moved on to Neo-Romanticism and Surrealism.
He was born near Moscow on his family's estate and was studying in that city at the time of the 1917 Russian Revolution. He fled to Kiev and there enrolled in the Academy of Art, studying with Alexandra Exter, a pupil of Fernand Leger.
Fleeing the Communists, Tchelitchew lived in Berlin, working as a stage designer, and then went to Paris, where he abandoned modernist painting for realistic landscapes and portraits. He also did set and costume designs for Diaghilev ballets in Paris. In the late 1920s, he made use of perspective distortion and multiple images and at that time also began to develop his interest in metamorphic forms and New Romanticism.
The Surrealist practice of Automatism played a significant part in his metamorphic compositions of which the most famous is Hide and Seek, completed in 1942. Automatism is the technique of creating artwork without apparent thought or direction and theoretically flowed from the subconscious.
In 1939, he emigrated to the United States where he spent time in Weston, Connecticut as the guest of Alice DeLamar, a patroness of Westport artists.
Tchelitchew died in Italy in 1957.
