Born in Moscow, Poliakoff (1906-1969) was a Russian-French modernist artist who is best known for his lushly-colored abstract paintings, influenced by his association in the 1930s with Wassily Kandinsky and Sonia and Robert Delaunay (see lots 65-67). Many of Poliakoff's lithographs and etchings are based on his painted compositions. Rivière 21.
