André Lanskoy was born into an aristocratic family in Moscow on March 31, 1902. The family soon moved to St. Petersburg, and then to Kiev in 1918, where Lanskoy painted his first works. At the age of nineteen, Lanskoy travelled to Paris to study at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, where he met and interacted with artists like Chaim Soutine, Serge Poliakoff and Nicolas de Staël.
In 1923 the artist participated to his first exhibition in Paris, a group show of works by Russian artists at La Licorne Gallery. The art dealer Wilhelm Uhde was the first patron to sponsor his work, and organized his first solo exhibition at the Bing Gallery in Paris in 1925.
During the First World War, Lanskoy produced many works which are characterized by rhythmic motion and vibrant colours, inspired by Matisse and Van Gogh. His sources of inspiration included classical artists such as Jerome Bosch and Paolo Uccello, but he is most well known for the abstract works he began to paint in the late 1930s, influenced by his studies of the work of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
From 1925 to 1940 Dutilleul was his major collector and sponsor, and from 1944 onwards Lanskoy internationally exhibited his works in solo and group exhibitions at galleries like the Museé Galliéra, Jeanne Bucher Gallery and Jacques Dubourg Gallery in Paris, the Neue Galerie in Zurich, and the Loeb Gallery in New York.
In 1962, the artist began work on a large project, which would last the fourteen years that preceded his death, creating a series of original lithographs and collages to illustrate Nikolai Gogol’s novel ‘Diary of a Madman’.
Lanskoy died in Paris on August 24 1976.
