Serge Poliakoff

Russian (1906–1969)

About the artist:

French painter of Russian birth. He arrived in Paris in 1923 and attended several of the Académies Libres. He moved to London in 1935 and attended the Slade School of Fine Arts. His deep interest in painting techniques led him to examine Egyptian sarcophagi in the British Museum; their superimposition of colours, together with the example of Paul Cézanne and that of the Italian primitives in the Louvre, proved of great importance to him on his return to France. Among 20th-century painters he admired the purity and construction of space in the work of Juan Gris and the spirit of Paul Klee’s art. 1900 Born in Moscow 1933Académie Frochot Paris 1935 - 1937Slade School of Art London, England 1947Kandinsky Award 1956Lissone Award 1965Tokyo Biennal, International Award 1966Menton Biennal, Grand Prize 1969Died in Paris Selected Exhibitions 1974Retrospective, Fabre Museum Montpellier, France 1971 - 1972Exposition Poliakoff, Tel-Aviv Museum Tel-Aviv, Israël 1969Retrospective, Despiau-Wlerick Museum Mont-de-Marsan, France 1969Galleria del Naviglio Venice, Italy 1968Retrospective, Maison de la Culture de Caen Caen, France 1966Retrospective, Saint-Gall Museum 1963Retrospective, Whitechapel Art Gallery London, England 1962Biennale de Venise, Venice, Italy 1961Efteraars-Udstilligen, Palais Charlottenborg Copenhagen, Danemark 1958 International Exhibition of Contemporary Painting, Carnegie Institute Pittsburgh, PA 195850 ans d'Art Moderne, Brussels, Belgium 1946Centre des Recherches Paris, France 1945Salon de Réalités Nouvelles, Paris, France
