Grigory Gluckmann - The Break


Grigory Gluckmann (1898 – 1959) was a Russian painter and illustrator. He eventually escaped to Germany, where he continued his art studies, and then went on to Florence, where he spent a year studying and familiarizing himself with the masters of the Renaissance, this latter period becoming one of the major influences in the development of his own mature style. After his Italian sojourn, he settled in Paris in 1924 to work and to launch his professional career as an artist. His success there began with his first one-man exhibition in 1924 at the famous Galerie Druet on the Rue Royale when critics hailed him as an artist of extraordinary ability and talent.
