Mikhail Larionov

1881–1964 · Russian-born French

Mikhail Larionov was a key organizer of the prewar Russian avant-garde and, with Natalia Goncharova, developed Rayonism, which fragmented objects into intersecting vectors of colored light. After being wounded in World War I, he moved permanently to Western Europe and worked increasingly in theater design.
