SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Alexis Gritchenko (1883–1977), a painter of Ukrainian origin born in Krolevets, settled in France in 1921 and in Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1927. The town provided a home base until 1960. Gardens, doorways and Mediterranean architecture nourished his attention to colour, while his works on paper preserve traces of other places encountered during his travels.
Murailles de Constantinople, a watercolour of 1920 that Gritchenko donated to the Musée national d’Art moderne, reflects his interest in Istanbul’s architecture. In Paysage : l’île des Princes of 1919, held by the Institut Calvet, two bending figures place agricultural labour within the landscape. The oil painting on wood Paysage, also known as Roquebrune and deposited in Menton, demonstrates the continuing importance of Mediterranean settings in a practice encompassing painting and watercolour.
