Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Style and technique of artist Sergey Chekhonin         

Chekhonin is a twentieth-century Russian artist who mainly produced drawings, oils on canvas and paintings on porcelain. Not really associated with any particular movement, he was influenced by Russian art under the Soviet regime and by European Expressionism.

Sergey Chekhonin, pioneer of 20th-century Russian art  

Serge Chekonin or Sergey Chekhonin (1878 - 1936), was a Russian painter and decorator born in Russia.

Chekhonin began his career as a civil servant for the Russian Railways, a job that often took him to St. Petersburg. There, he attended the Stiglitz School, where he learned ceramics from Schreiber and pottery from Répine. He then worked as a potter in Moscow for several years, before leaving for Paris in 1906, where he organized an exhibition of Russian folk art. He then returned to St. Petersburg, where he ran a succession of pottery workshops, inviting Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya to join him. He returned to France for good in 1928, changing his artistic horizon slightly by collaborating with theaters and developing a decorating business. For this reason, many of his drawings can be found on the auction market.

Chekhonin died in Germany at the age of 58.
