Russian-born Serge Charchoune was an artist that moved within the Dada and Cubist circles, although never really associated himself with one or the other. He was said to be the first Russian Dadaist poet, and would author a number of books on this subject.
The Dada movement lost its glamour for Charchoune around 1925 because he was no longer interested in the political aspect of it. This gave way for the artist to begin using symbols and elements from his native Russia and French roots, which became apparent throughout the rest of his artistic career.
Charchoune would often create his compositions based on music, and would try to find a marriage between the two. In Charchoune’s work, musical notes took the form of colors in what some people called Abstract, but what was clearly a work of his own.
Although he moved within certain artistic circles, critics have attributed his failure to connect with one group of artists as his reason for being a lesser-known artist today. Charchoune had his first exhibit in the United States in 1960, and it wasn’t really until then that his work had become noticed.
Today Charchoune’s work is housed worldwide, and perhaps even in your own home. If you believe you own a work of art by Serge Charchoune, contact Art Experts. We authenticate, appraise, research and provide Certificates of Authenticity (COA’s) for works by Serge Charchoune.
