Mansouroff (Pavel Mansurov, 1896-1884) was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. He was drawn into the circle of Russian avant-garde artists and established connections with Vladimir Tatlin (1885-1953) and Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935). Though he ventured out of the Suprematist and Constructivist styles, he remained an experimental abstract artist focused on the treatment of line and form throughout his career. In 1928, the artist left the Soviet Union for Italy and made his way to Paris to work alongside Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979, see lot 95 and lot 96) as a textile and graphic arts designer.
