Serge Poliakoff (1900–1969): Master of Abstract Composition
Serge Poliakoff was a visionary painter whose mastery of color and form positioned him among the leading figures of post-war abstract art. Born in Moscow in 1900, Poliakoff fled the Russian Revolution and traveled through Europe before settling in Paris in the 1920s. Initially drawn to academic painting, his artistic journey evolved dramatically as he absorbed the influences of modernist pioneers, from Wassily Kandinsky to Sonia and Robert Delaunay. By the 1950s, Poliakoff had developed his signature style—bold, interlocking color fields that pulsate with energy while maintaining an extraordinary sense of balance and harmony.
