Biography
Robert Falk
B. 1886 Moscow, Russia D. 1958 Moscow, Russia
Robert Falk (1886 – October 1, 1858) was a Russian painter.
Falk was born in Moscow in 1886. In 1903 to 1994 he studied art in the studios of Konstantin Yuon and Ilya Mashkov, in 1905 to 1909 he studied at Moscow School of painting, sculpture and architecture from Konstantin Korovin and Valentin Serov.
In 1910 he was one of the founders and the most active participant of artistic group Jack of Diamonds. The group considered Paul Cezanne the only painter worth following.
In 1918 - 1928 Falk taught at VKhUTEMAS (State Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops). In 1928 Falk went to a supposedly short trip to France and refused to return, he worked in Paris until 1938, when he returned to Moscow.
After 1938 until his death in 1958 he worked in Moscow, most of the time in isolation. During the Khrushchev Thaw he became popular among young painters and many considered Falk as the main bridge between traditions of the Russian and French modern of beginning of 20th century and Russian avant-garde and the Russian avant-garde of 1960ies.
His works are in the State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg; in the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow and in many museums in Europe and the US.
