In 1907 he began his studies at the St. Petersburg Academy .In 1910-1914 he was on scholarship in Paris, where he came into contact with Cubism and became friends with G. Apollinaire and M. Jacob. In 1915 he married Bella , she was the muse of many of his paintings. In 1919 he was the artistic director of the State Jewish Theater in Moscow. Since 1947 he lived permanently in Paris. After naive-realist paintings in his early work, he succumbed to the influence of Cubism, Expressionism and Surrealism. His paintings are dominated by serene love themes, landscapes and religious scenes. His characteristic means of expression include deformation of shapes, distortion of proportions, predominance of vivid reds, blues and greens.
