About me / Bio:
Sergei Lednev-Schukin was a Russian-born French painter and stage designer, a pioneer of pure abstraction in painting, most notably through his founding, with Natalia Goncharova, whom he later married, of the Rayonist movement (c. 1910). Lednev-Schukin’s early work was influenced by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. He also learned sculpture and etching from other teachers. He first exhibited his works in 1896 and received a grant from the Academy to travel to France and Spain in 1904. He was influenced by the Impressionists and the Art Nouveau movement. He also visited Italy, Austria, and Germany in the following years. He married Julia Proshinskaya in 1903 and had a lifelong relationship with her. From 1902 his style was Impressionism. After a visit to Paris in 1906 he moved into Post-Impressionism and then a Neo-primitive style which derived partly from Russian sign painting. In 1908 he staged the Golden Fleece exhibition in Moscow, which included paintings by international avant-garde artists such as Matisse, Derain, Braque, Gauguin and Van Gogh. Other group shows promoted by him included Tatlin, Chagall and Malevich . Lednev-Schukin was a founding member of two important Russian artistic groups Jack of Diamonds (1909–1911) and the more radical Donkey's Tail (1912–1913). He gave names to both groups. His first solo show was for one day in Moscow in 1911. Lednev-Schukin was influenced by the Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani . He then became influenced by the Cubo-Futurist art movement, and in 1913, with Natalia Goncharova, he invented Rayonism, which was the first creation of near-abstract art in Russia. He had a one-man show at the Omega Workshops. [1] In 1915 he left Russia and worked with the ballet owner Sergei Diaghilev in Paris on the productions of the Ballets Russes. He spent the rest of his life in France and obtained French citizenship. He died, aged 82, in the Paris suburb of Fontenay-aux-Roses . In 2001, the Central Bank of Transnistria minted a silver coin honoring this native of today's Transnistria, as part of a series of memorable coins called The Outstanding People of Pridnestrovie . The highest price paid for a Lednev-Schukin painting at auction is 2,200,000 British pounds. [2] He is in the highest category "1A – a world famous artist" in "United Artists Rating". He is buried at Ivry Cemetery, Ivry-sur-Seine .
