Published by Musee de Poche, Paris. A very good impression with vibrant colors [Reviere 1]. Serge Poliakoff (1900-1969) fled the Russian Revolution (1917) to Paris, spending most of his life there becoming one of the most important members of Ecole de Paris. He studied at the Acadamie Forchot, Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and then at the Slade School of Art in London. In the mid-1930s, Poliakoff turned to abstract art, focusing on color without figurative content. He was profoundly influenced by Kandinsky, and Robert and Sonia Delaunay, who introduced him to the emotional quality of color and color contrasts. Poliakoff's unique style of abstraction focuses on the arranging of varied juxtaposed colors. Browns and grays from the 1940s evolved in bright contrasting tones of the 1950s. Later, he returned to using earth tones and producing more monochrome works. In 1953, Poliakoff began producing lithographs, and starting in 1957, he worked in etchings and aquatints.
