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.

Munich Olympic Games Art Series
By Serge Poliakoff
Located in Winterswijk, NL
Shipping on request This impressive offset lithograph by Serge Poliakoff, a significant figure in abstract art, captures the powerful dynamism of his work. The skillful interplay of red and blue in this harmonious artwork from 1972, part of the Munich Olympic Games Art Series, creates a fascinating visual tension and bestows upon the space an aura of refinement and elegance. Poliakoff's mastery in abstraction is evident in a composition that is both energetic and balanced. Signed in stone by the artist, this vintage piece encapsulates the essence of its time and is a valuable addition to any art collection. Serge Poliakoff, born on January 8, 1900, in Moscow, Russia, was a prominent figure in 20th-century abstract art. After relocating to Paris in 1923 and briefly pursuing a career as a cabaret guitarist, he found his calling in painting. By 1935, he increasingly embraced abstraction, utilizing color without representational references. Poliakoff developed a unique form of abstract painting, juxtaposing colored fields. In the 1940s, he predominantly worked with shades of gray and brown before expanding his palette to include vibrant, contrasting colors from 1950 onwards. His later works were characterized by a reduction in color intensity to earthy tones and a tendency towards monochromatic compositions. This evolution reflected his artistic maturity and pursuit of expressive depth. Serge Poliakoff's works are renowned for their powerful abstraction and subtle mastery of color. He passed away on October 12...
