Serge Charchoune (Russian, 1888-1975) untitled color lithograph featuring an abstract composition. Signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Circa the 1970s. Framed. Serge Charchoune was a Russian painter and the first Russian Dada poet. From the 1930s to the 1950s, Charchoune experimented with both abstract and representational figures, often mixing the two. His style, as described by British artist and critic Merlin James, was an “alternative” abstraction as compared to many of his contemporaries. Charchoune took inspiration for his artworks from the music of classical composers like Bach and Tchaikovsky. Charchoune's work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Centre Georges Pompidou, Moscow Museum of Modern Art and National Museum of Serbia.
