Michel Larionov, 20th-century Russian Rayonist

Michel Larionov or Mikhail Larinov is a Russian artist born in Tiraspol in 1881.

He trained in Impressionism and Fauvism at the Moscow School of Painting, and was one of the first Russian artists to explore Rayonism.

He became close to Kasimir Malevich, a Russian painter who experimented with abstraction in its most total field. He founded the Valet de Carreau group, then after a dispute with one of its members, he founded the Queue d'Âne group, two circles intended to reflect on the plastic and intellectual issues of the avant-garde.

He wrote and published the manifesto of rayonnisme in 1912, which stemmed from literary futurism and aimed to represent in painting the movements and vibrations of energy-matter and radioactivity.

After meeting Sonia and Robert Delaunay, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français, where he made his work known outside Russia.

He also created sets for the Ballet Russe and died in 1964 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, aged 82.
