NOTICE
A symbolist and mystical painter, Nicolas Kalmakoff (1873-1955) developed a singular universe nourished by occultism, eroticism and Russian spiritual traditions. Close in spirit to the Mir Iskusstva group, he shared certain affinities with Mikhail Vroubel, Léon Bakst and Pavel Filonov. His style, imbued with fantasy, art nouveau and decadentism, sometimes evokes the tormented visions of Odilon Redon or Aubrey Beardsley. Exiled to Paris, Kalmakoff was long forgotten before being rediscovered as a singular figure of the Russian avant-garde in exile.
