Comentarios: Post-Impressionist landscape painter whose Russian-period works date from 1902-1921. His subjects were Ukrainian and Lithuanian village and country scenes, and street scenes of Moscow, Kiev, and Petrograd. After studying in Munich, he traveled throughout France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and England, painting in a bold Fauvist style. In 1913, his first solo exhibitions in Paris received critical acclaim, and he continued to exhibit with the important French Fauvists. He lived in Moscow, 1914-16, and was appointed art professor at the Ukrainian Art Academy, Kiev, in 1917. In 1921, he left revolutionary Russia for Warsaw, and in 1922 he emigrated to the US, settling in the Bronx. He traveled extensively, often walking many miles and painting regional scenes in industrial Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania mining towns, villages along the Hudson River and in Connecticut, and winter scenes in Canada. In the US, he exhibited both his Russian and American landscapes, which were acclaimed for their lyrical yet vigorous brushwork and expressive use of color.
