Léopold Survage, 1879–1968 (Russian-born French painter)

* In 1913, Léopold Survage produced abstract compositions entitled Rythmes colorés which used colour and movement to evoke a type of musical sensation. From 1917, he shared a studio — and a penchant for alcoholic excesses — with Amedeo Modigliani in Paris. Survage later moved to Nice where he 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. He died on 31 October 1968.
