Michel Kikoine

1892 – 1968

Being engaged in painting, Mikhail Kikoin preferred the genres of landscape, still life and portrait. Less often he wrote nudes and plot compositions. Kikoin's artistic style demonstrates the study of the experience of various areas of European art of the late 19th - first half of the 20th century, and, above all, post-impressionism, symbolism and expressionism. Many of his paintings are heavily influenced by the works of Chaim Soutine.

The works of Mikhail Kikoin are in private and museum collections in France, the USA, Japan, Israel, Russia and many other countries of the world. The corporate collection of JSC "Belgazprombank" includes six paintings by the artist. All of them are included in the State List of Historical and Cultural Values of the Republic of Belarus.
