Tsadkin, Osip. Poster for the exhibition timed to the release of the book: Portrait de L’Oiseau-Qui-N’Existe-Pas. [Portrait of the Bird That Does Not Exist]. [In French] Paris: Galerie René Kieffer, 1966. 1 sheet. 48.5 × 64.5 cm. Osip Alekseevich Tsadkin (Ossip Zadkine; 1890–1967) — sculptor, graphic artist, applied artist; representative of the École de Paris. He studied at a vocational school in Vitebsk and took drawing lessons from Yu. M. Pen. In 1909, he left for Paris, where he settled in the La Ruche (The Beehive) quarter of Montparnasse. From 1912 to 1914, he was a regular visitor to the salon of Baroness Ettingen and the Café de la Rotonde, where he met many figures of Parisian artistic life. His early work is characterized by an interest in primitive art, a phase that many masters of the École de Paris went through. In the late 1910s and 1920s, he turned to Cubism. Later, without being tied to any artistic groups or movements, he successfully incorporated techniques of Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism in his work, combined with various historical styles.
