Biography

At a young age, Survage was directed to enter the piano factory operated by his Finnish father. He learned to play the piano, then completed a commercial diploma in After a severe illness at the age of 22, Survage rethought his career and entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

Introduced to the modern movement through the collections of Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, he cast his lot with the Russian avant-garde and, by , was loosely affiliated with the circle of the magazine Zolotoye runo (Golden fleece—see also Maximilian Voloshin).

    • With Hélène Moniuschko, later his wife, he travelled to Western Europe, visiting Paris in July The couple eventually settled in Paris where Survage worked as a piano tuner and briefly attended the short-lived school run by Henri Matisse. He exhibited with the Jack of Diamonds group in Moscow in and first showed his work in France—at the urging of Archipenko—in the Salon d'Automne of [2]

    In , Survage produced abstract compositions using color and movement to evoke a type of musical sensation.

    Entitled Rythmes colorés, he planned to animate these illustrations by means of film to form "symphonies en couleur". He saw these abstract images as flowing together, but he exhibited the ink wash drawings separately at the Salon d'Automne in and Salon des Indépendants in Articles on these works were published by Guillaume Apollinaire (Paris-J., July ) and Survage himself (Soirées Paris, July–August ).

    In June , in order to develop his idea, Survage unsuccessfully applied for a patent to the Gaumont Film Company.

    Leopold survage biography wife: Born in Moscow in , Survage formed the Symbolist group “The Blue Rose” with Archipenko, Larionov, Pevsner in ; and in exhibited with the “Knave of Diamonds” society with Kandinsky, Chagall and Malevitch. In he created the groundbreaking abstract series “Rythmes Colorés” which is now largely in the collection of.

    Had he been able to raise the funds, he would have preceded Viking Eggeling and Hans Richter as the first to develop abstract films.[2][3]

    Beginning in , Survage shared a studio—and a penchant for alcoholic excesses—with Amedeo Modigliani in Paris. Survage later moved to Nice and, over the next eight years, produced highly structured oils and works on paper linked together by a series of leitmotifs, repeating groups of symbolic elements—man, sea, building, flower, window, curtain, bird—as if they were protagonists in a series of moving images.

    The influence may have been Marc Chagall's, an artist well known for his insertions of floating couples, cows, roosters, and sundry Jewish iconography. By , Survage had begun to move away from Cubism in favour of the neo-classical form. He was perhaps influenced by commissions for Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, beginning with sets and costumes for Igor Stravinsky's opera buffaMavra at the Paris Opéra in Although mainly a painter, he also produced stage, tapestry, and textile designs during this period (notably for the house of Chanel in ).

    Leopold survage biography death

    Léopold Frédéric Léopoldowitsch Survage (French pronunciation: [leɔpɔl(d) syʁvaʒ]; 31 July – 31 October ) was a Russian-French painter of Finnish origin. Trained in Moscow, he identified with the Russian avant-garde before moving to Paris, where he shared a studio with Amedeo Modigliani and experimented with abstract films.

    Toward the end of the s, as a result of his contact with André Masson, Survage became increasingly charmed by symbols and mysticism. The curvilinear forms that had previously dominated his compositions came, once again, under the control of geometric structure.[2]

    On 12 March Survage was named Officer of the Légion d'Honneur.[4] He died on 31 October in Paris.[2]
