Léopold Survage - polymer clay version, 713
Léopold Survage (1879–1968) was a Finnish-born French artist who produced dynamic abstractions of city scenes. He fracturing perspectival space into planar segments, he constructed multiple viewpoints within larger compositions. In this way, structures, flowers, trees, curtains, and birds are reorganized into a fragmented yet coherent pictorial space. “Colored music is in no way an illustration or an interpretation of a musical work,” he once explained. “It is an autonomous art, although based on the same psychological principles as music.” Survage intended to take on his father’s piano factory business but instead studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, where met Alexander Archipenko. The artist moved to Paris in 1910, where he became the studio mate of Amedeo Modigliani and began designing sets and costumes for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes.
