Antoine Pevsner (1886-1962)
Antoine Pevsner Biography
(b Oryol, 18 Jan 1886; d Paris, 12 April 1962). French painter and sculptor of Russian birth. Son of an industrialist and brother of the sculptor NAUM GABO, he grew up in Bryansk. He studied at the School of Art in Kiev (19029), where according to Gabo he first met Alexander Archipenko, and then spent a three-month probationary period at the Academy of Arts in St Petersburg. Among his early paintings, The Giant (1907; priv. col., see Pevsner 1964, p. 35) shows the influence of the Symbolist painter Mikhail Vrubel, but Pevsner was also impressed by the Russian Byzantine tradition.
