Temira Pachmuss, Extracts from the archives. Serge Charchoune, a Russian painter and writer.
Serge Charchoune (1888-1976), the first Russian Dadaist poet, was also a modernist painter. In 1921, he authored a long Dadaist work, Foule immobile : poème, and later published several unusual books in Russian, among them Stories unpleasant (1964), Sky à la Bell: a poem 1919-1965 (1965), Lighthouseless: four landscapes (1969), and an artistic portrayal of Charchoune's own alter ego, Mr. Longface: from the epopee "A hero is more fascinating than the novel" (1961). As the unusual titles suggest, the plots are indeed unorthodox. The "freed" contents of the works found curious expressions in Charchoune's equally unusual arrangement of halftone, colors and lines in his painting. An abstract artist, he succeeded in conveying the imperceptible and the inexpressible. His art requires an onlooker's participation, who is expected to complete the painting himself - through his own imagination and understanding of its subtle interplay of colors, lines, and musical notes. As his subject, Charchoune used various symphonies of Bach, Tchaikovsky, and other composers. Charchoune was a frequent visitor at the Merezhkovskys ' Sunday literary salons in Paris, where he came to know Greta Gerell, a Swedish artist and a close friend of Zinaida Hippius. This article is based on their correspondence which reveals Charchoune as a remarkable artist, poet, and man. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
