About the Item
Alexandre Jacovleff (1887–1938), born in Saint Petersburg and later naturalized as French, was a prominent Russian painter. The son of a naval officer, he studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg under Dmitri Kardovsky and formed a friendship with Vassili Choukhaiev. Active in the Mir Iskousstva movement, he left Russia in 1917 to travel through Asia, including China and Japan.
Settling in Paris in 1920, Jacovleff gained recognition through exhibitions and publications, including Drawings & Paintings of the Far East. In 1924, he became the official painter of the Black Cruise, traveling across Africa and creating 300 drawings. He later designed sets for the ballet Semiramis at the Paris Opera and directed the drawing school at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
This painting is one of the portraits Alexandre Jacovleff created during his journey with the Black Cruise. It depicts a Congolese man.
Oil on panel.
