Michel Kikoine is remembered for work the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Michel Kikoine as Belarusian-French artist of Jewish origin (1892—1968).
Michel Kikoine was born at Gomel in 1892. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
He worked as painter.
His recorded movement is expressionism and school of paris.
A painting outlives the argument about it, which is the only durable form of an artistic reputation.
That the work was made in Russia shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Michel Kikoine died in 1968, aged 76. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
