Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné, a Ukrainian-Russian artist, is an eminently representative figure of what the artist was in the 20th century . Born in 1889 in Kherson, Ukraine, into a Jewish family, he developed a body of work as an avant-garde musician, painter, and sculptor (Cubo-Futurist, Cubist, Orphist, abstract, biomorphist, and synesthetist). He died in January 1944 in Auschwitz.
It is undoubtedly Picasso who alone sums up in an exemplary manner the complexion, completely new in relation to the past European history of art, of the creator from 1910 onwards: having rejected four centuries of resurgent academicism, having wiped the slate clean of the conventional codes of representation, the artist of the 20th century century found itself condemned to the tireless quest for ever new processes and ways of understanding nature or the world. It became Proteus, as André Malraux pointed out with regard to Picasso.
When we consider Baranoff-Rossiné's work as a whole, we are struck by its protean character. The most varied periods follow one another, sometimes overlapping, each time so different in their style that it is impossible to speak of "transition" or "evolution."
An alchemist of painting and a tireless experimenter, Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné never stopped creating, inventing, and finding original formulas. A creator of his time, he never limited himself to a formula; he constantly kept his inventive genius alive. Although he left behind more than five hundred oils, drawings, watercolors, and gouaches, his activity did not stop there...
