orig. Natan Borisovich Pevzner

born Jan. 18, 1886, Oryol, Russia
died April 12, 1962, Paris, France

Russian-born French sculptor and painter.

After travels to Paris and Oslo, he returned to become a professor at Moscow's school of fine arts. He helped form the Suprematist group, and in 1920 he and his brother, Naum Gabo, issued the Realist Manifesto of Constructivism. He settled in Paris in 1923. He used zinc, brass, copper, and celluloid for his early sculptures; later he relied mainly on parallel arrays of bronze wire soldered together to form plates, which he joined to form intricate shapes.
