About the Item

SERGE POLIAKOFF (1899 Moskau - 1969 Paris) Composition rouge jaune bleu, 1953 Oel auf Leinwand 90x130cm Provenienz: Sammlung Alexis Poliakoff, Paris Privatsammung Schweiz Serge Poliakoff was born on January 8, 1900 in Moscow, one of fourteen children. Beginning in 1914, he took drawing lessons, learned guitar, and showed an early enthusiasm for mathematics. In 1918, during the Russian Revolution, he fled a train bound for the White Army and reached Constantinople, where he stayed with his aunt, singer Nastia Poliakoff, accompanying her on guitar during concert tours. After two years touring Europe, he settled in Paris in 1923. In 1929, he began art studies at the Académie Frochot, continuing at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris and at art schools in London. Around 1935, after meeting Kandinsky, he embraced abstraction and joined the École de Paris circle alongside Robert and Sonia Delaunay and Otto Freundlich. He died on October 12, 1969 in Paris.
