About
Why this artist matters now
André Lanskoy was a French abstract painter whose compositions built from layered gestural marks and dense chromatic fields. Born in Russia in 1902 and based in Paris from the 1920s onward, he developed a non-representational vocabulary rooted in lyrical abstraction. His canvases combine thick impasto, bold color, and spontaneous mark-making that convey movement and emotional intensity without recourse to figuration. Lanskoy's work belongs to the postwar European abstract tradition, alongside contemporaries engaged in expressive, non-geometric abstraction.
