Style and technique by artist Sergey Chekhonin        

Chekhonin is a 20th-century Russian artist, who mainly produced drawings, oils on canvas and paintings on porcelain. He is not really associated with any particular movement, but is influenced by Russian art under the Soviet regime and by European Expressionism.

Sergey Chekhonin, pioneer of twentieth-century Russian art  

Serge Chekhonin or Sergey Chekhonin (1878 - 1936), was a Russian painter and decorator born in Russia.

Chekhonin was initially a civil servant for the Russian railroads, a job thanks to which he often traveled to Saint Petersburg. There, he attended the Stiglitz School, where he learned ceramics from Schreiber and pottery from Répine. He then worked as a potter in Moscow for several years, before leaving for Paris in 1906, where he organized an exhibition of Russian folk art. He then returned to St. Petersburg, where he successively directed various pottery workshops, to which he invited Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya. He returned to France for good in 1928, and changed his artistic horizon slightly by collaborating with theaters and developing a decorating business. This is why many of these drawings can be found on the auction market.

Chekhonin died in Germany at the age of 58.
