Bois de Boulogne, Paris - Serge Mendjisky
Frenchman Serge Mendjisky (1929-2017) was the son of Polish painter Maurice Mendjisky. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1949 after finishing school, he settled in Nice where he was influenced by Picasso and Jacques Villon. In 1964 he discovered divisionism from the works of Cezanne, which found its way into his work. Mendjisky is known for his bright colors and broken brushstrokes, particularly gravitating toward landscapes or urban capitals. He exhibited at all major Paris exhibitions - Salon des Artistes Francais, Salon d’Automne and Salon des Independants. In addition, he had extensive solo exhibitions including the Galerie St. Placide - Paris, Norwal Gallery - New York, Richter Gallery-Philadelphia, Galerie Feliz Valotton-Lausanne, and Richmond Gallery-London, to name a few. Mendjisy’s art is currently in many public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art in Moscow.
