Léopold Survage ​ Composition à l'oiseau, 1948 ​ casein on panel, signed and dated lower right, 9.5 x 10.7cm ​ Provenance: Cornette de Saint-Cyr, Paris, 22 November 1998, lot 55; Private Collection, London Having risen to the status of a Modern Master as a member of the Cubist group at the beginning of the century, Survage was acclaimed by Apollinaire and Léonce Rosenberg for his idiosyncratic style. Born in Moscow in 1879, as a child he dreamt about becoming an architect but seeing the works of Gauguin and Cézanne in the Morosov collection made him decide to pursue painting and he enrolled at the Moscow College where he met Archipenko, Larionov, Pevsner and Sudeikin. They joined together and exhibited as the Symbolist Group The Blue Rose in 1905. By 1908 Survage was in Paris where he attended Matisse’s course for a short while and exhibited at the Salon d’Automne. After an early Fauvist phase he joined the Cubists while the movement was just developing, he took an active part in their experiments and exhibited with them at the Salon des Indépendants in 1911. In 1910 and 1911 Survage exhibited with the historic Knave of Diamonds society in Moscow that included Kandinsky, Chagall and Malevich, and was one of the most influential organisations for promoting contemporary art and as such considered to be a crucial reference point in the extraordinary adventure of Russian Modernism. In 1912 Survage started on a groundbreaking series “Rythmes Colorés” for which he produced two hundred totally abstract compositions, thus historically positioning himself as one of the early pioneers of Abstract art, many of these are now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Survage’s contribution to the 1914 Salon des Indépendants was applauded by the famous poet and critic Guillaume Apollinaire, who subsequently organised a one-man exhibition for him in 1917 at the Galerie Bougard. It was during these years that Survage embarked on one of his most famous and influential series, the Cubistic city scenes “Paysages Cubistes”. In 1919 Survage became highly active with the legendary Séction d’ Or group to which he had been a founding member and consisted of all the modern masters, Archipenko, Braque, Boccioni, Gris, Leger, Picasso, Van Doesburg etc. Together they held revolutionary exhibitions in Paris, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Brussels, Rome. At this time Survage also began to exhibit at the famous Galerie L’Effort Moderne of Léonce Rosenberg who had taken over from Kahnweiler as the leading Cubist dealer. Here during the 1920’s Survage exhibited in several major exhibitions such as “L’Effort Moderne”; “Les Maitres du Cubisme”; “Synthèse et Construction”. Furthermore Survage became involved with the activities of De Stijl and created a series of works for the Bauhaus. Several international exhibitions over the next few years established Survage’s status as a modern master, most notably Knoedler Gallery, New York, 1929; Painting in Paris, MOMA New York, 1930; Avant-Garde Artists, Tokyo, 1933. His work was becoming increasingly Surreal, drawing inspiration from ancient philosophies, his visionary goal was to interpret in understandable signs and images the profound realities of life, often influenced by the “Arcana Caelestia” writings of the 18th century Swedish scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg...
