Work Creator notes (display):
Polish theorist and painter, active in the USA. His family were minor Polish aristocrats long resident in Russia. He studied law at the University of Kiev, before becoming a Tsarist cavalry officer, to fight the Revolution. He was captured by the Bolsheviks but escaped to western Europe and by 1920 had arrived in the USA. He changed his name to Graham, believing that this was similar to the Cyrillic orthography of Dambrowsky. In New York Graham studied in 1921 under John Sloan at the Art Students League, and he also seems to have had contacts with several Russian artists including Mikhail Larionov and David Burlyuk. In the 1920s he was active as an artist and corresponded with the American collector Duncan Phillips. Graham was acquainted with Picasso (an influence he eventually rejected) and in the late 1920s had one-man exhibitions in both the USA and Paris. In New York he became prominent as the principal link between modernist artists in New York and Paris. As a theorist Graham used the term 'minimalism' to describe the irreducible part of a work that remained after repeated analyses of the forms, and his paintings, either pale or dark, demonstrated his ideas. His System and Dialectics of Art (1937) codified them further in question-and-answer form. Apart from his own work, in which he borrowed heavily from the Old Masters, Graham was very influential in promoting modern art in the USA; he introduced David Smith to the welded sculpture of Julio González. A friend of Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning and Jacob Kainen (b 1909), Graham also introduced Jackson Pollock to Lee Krasner when he exhibited their art together in 1941. http://www.groveart… (accessed 2008-06-10)>
