Paul Mansouroff
Russian (1896–1983)
About the artist:
Paul Andréevitch Mansouroff or Pavel Mansurov was an understated painter of the Russian avant-garde movement of the 1920s. Mansouroff's contribution to the avant-garde in Russia was a wholly non-objective art that used elongated vertical surfaces to explore questions of space and spatial correlations.
Influenced by his friends, Malevich and Tatlin, Mansouroff made his first public exhibit of his abstract work in 1918 at Winter Palace in Leningrad. However, Mansouroff quickly moved away from the influence of his entourage and developed a more personal and instinctive style. Mansouroff is known for his paintings on wood, referred to as “Pictural formulae.” In the 1950s, he started making frequent trips to Nice and Saint-Paul de Vence. He settled there in 1975 and died in Nice on 2 February 1983.
