Proch has incredible design and draftsmanship skills. His style is a blend of wonderfully drawn faces and figures from unique viewpoints that give them a Japanese animation feel.
Alexander Bogomazov was a Russian painter renown for his own style which combined elements of Cubist and Futurism. Alexander Bogomazov was born in Yampil, Russian Empire in the year 1880. The first picture in the gallery is a self portrait by the artist.
Bogomazov attended school in Russia at the Art Academy of Kiev. The artist also knew world renown painter Alexander Archipenko ( I have already done a post on this artist!) One of the first exhibitions he had was with Archipenko.
Below a great selection of works by Bogomazov:
The artist also taught at the collegiate level in Russia. Also in Russia he taught at school for the deaf and mute.
Alexander Bogomazov passed away in 1930, at the age of 50 years old.

With his emphasis on labor and the common man Bogomazov reminds me of Jacob Lawrence with his compositions and bold use of color.
Gino Severini was an Italian painter associated with the Cubist and Futurist movements. Gino Severini was born in Cortona, Italy in the year 1883. His father worked in the courts and his mother was a dress maker.
Below a montage of works by Gino Severini:
Severini studied in Rome at the Rome Fine Art Institute. After relocating to Paris, France in 1906 the artist fell in the love with the city and considered with Cortona (his birthplace) the artist’s two favorite cities.
Severini enjoyed painting the figure whilst in motion. Some favorite subjects of the artist included dancers and musicians.
One of his biggest influences was the artist Giocoma Balla, already profiled here.
Price range information: Works range from $5,000 to $750,000. The artist was a prolific printmaker.
Gino Severini passed away in 1966.
Severini had a great eye for composition. His Cubist and Futurist works showing the movement of human figure are fascinating for how many shapes they contain, whilst still showing a great sense of movement through out the picture.
Morris Kantor was born in Minsk, Russia in the year 1896. His family emigrated to the United States in 1906. Kantor painted in many styles including Futurist, Modernist, and Cubist styles. I enjoy his works most that are portraits done in a manner that is very expressive when it comes to the viewer regarding the emotions of the sitter.
The photograph in the gallery is the artist himself.
For his artistic education Kantor attended the Independent School of Art which was based out of New York City. The school closed down long ago.
Kantor also taught at the Art Student’s League of New York City and Cooper Union College also located in New York City.
Kantor was also involved in the governments WPA program.
Morris Kantor passed away in 1974.
The artist is part of many public and private collections including the Smithsonian.
Price range information: Sorry none available.
This artist I could also classify as a Social Realist painter. Like many artists who worked in the 1920s and 1930s Kantor possessed a great talent for capturing the emotions of people.
Another artist able to capture the gloomy feelings of people was the great Kathe Kolwitz.
