Pavel Tchelitchew
Pavel Tchelitchew (Russian: Па́вел Фёдорович Чели́щев) (21 September 1898, Kaluga, near Moscow – 31 July 1957, Rome) was a Russian-born surrealist painter, set designer and costume designer. Tchelitchew was born to an aristocratic family of landowners and was educated by private tutors. Tchelitchew expressed an early interest in ballet and art. He left Russia in 1920, lived in Berlin from 1921 to 1923, and moved to Paris in 1923. In Paris Tchelitchew became acquainted with Gertrude Stein and, through her, the Sitwell and Gorer families. He and Edith Sitwell had a long-standing close friendship and they corresponded frequently.
His first U.S. show was of his drawings, along with other artists, at the newly opened Museum of Modern Art in 1930. In 1934, he moved from Paris to New York City with his partner, writer Charles Henri Ford. From 1940 to 1947, he provided illustrations for the Surrealist magazine View, edited by Ford and writer and film critic Parker Tyler. His most significant work is the painting Hide and Seek, painted in 1940–42, and currently owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Lincoln Kirstein's Modern | MoMA EXHIBITION
“I have a live eye,” proclaimed Lincoln Kirstein, signaling his wide-ranging vision. Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern explores this polymath’s sweeping contributions to American cultural life in the 1930s and ’40s. Best known for cofounding New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet with George Balanchine, Kirstein (1907–1996), a writer, critic, curator, impresario, and tastemaker, was also a key figure in MoMA’s early history. With his prescient belief in the role of dance within the museum, his championing of figuration in the face of prevailing abstraction, and his position at the center of a New York network of queer artists, intimates, and collaborators, Kirstein’s impact remains profoundly resonant today. Bringing together nearly 300 rarely seen artworks alongside materials dra...

Pavel Fyodorovich Chelishchev (Russian: Па́вел Фёдорович Че́лищев; Kaluga, September 21, 1898 - Frascati (Rome), July 31, 1957) was a Russian surrealist painter...
Pavel Fyodorovich Chelishchev (Russian: Па́вел Фёдорович Че́лищев; Kaluga, September 21, 1898 - Frascati (Rome), July 31, 1957) was a Russian surrealist painter and scenic designer who created several works illustrating homosexual desire.
He was born in the Kaluga Governorate, near Moscow on the estate of his aristocratic family. He was educated by a series of French, German and English tutors, who encouraged his interest in the arts. His father, a follower of Tolstoyan principles, supported his desire to be a painter. Due to his father's liberal views, however, the family was expelled from their property after the October Revolution (1917).
Chelishchev joined the White Movement, and the family fled to kyiv, which was not yet under communist control. Meanwhile, in kyiv he studied with Aleksandra Ekster and produced his first theatrical designs.
By 1920, he was in Odessa, escaping the advancing Red Army. He arrived in Berlin via Istanbul. There he would meet Allen Tanner, an American pianist, and they became lovers. In 1923, they moved to Paris and Chelishchev began painting portraits of the avant-garde and homosexual elite.
Chelishchev developed a penchant for outrageous blues and pinks, calling himself the "Prince of Bad Taste."
Gertrude Stein recounted his entry into the Salon d'Automne in 1925, with Strawberry Baskets (1925), and purchasing all its contents from her studio. In addition to becoming an expert painter, he also became the most innovative of the scenic designers of his time and designed ballets for Sergei Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes in Paris.
Chelishchev's American debut was in a group exhibition of drawings at the MOMA in New York in 1930. In 1934, he moved to that city with his new lover, the writer and critic Charles Henri Ford, and exhibited at the Julien Levy Gallery. He and Ford were at the center of the social world of prominent homosexuals, such as Lincoln Kirstein, for whom he also designed ballets. He continued his work as a designer for George Balanchine's new American Ballet and for A. Everett "Chick" Austin, his friend and director of the pioneering Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.
In 1952, Chelishchev became an American citizen, but shortly afterward he traveled to Frascati, Italy. He suffered a heart attack in 1956 and died on July 31, 1957 in Rome Hospital.
V Although Chelishchev was educated in traditional classical drawing, his first influences were cubism and constructivism. He soon reacted against his emphasis on the geometric shapes of cones and cubes and began working with curves, a decision that led to his representational style, which uses every traditional element of anatomy and perspective.
In 1926, he was included at the Galerie Druet, Paris, in a group showing the title that gave rise to the appellation "Neo-Romantic," a designation applied to the amorphous combination of figurative painters of various temperaments and attitudes. The artist always disapproved of the term; and despite the similarities of his work with artists such as Salvador Dalí, he always denied any association with Surrealism.
Phenomena (Phenomena, 1936-1938), the first painting in a projected series of three major works, aroused violent reactions due to its eerie color and depiction of people then still alive (including a self-portrait and images of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas). The most prominent of the nude male figures in this painting is Nicholas Magellan, a favorite model, who later became a famous dancer.
His second work, Hide and Seek (1940-1942), a strikingly red painting of an enormous tree composed of human body parts, remains one of the most popular paintings at MOMA. The final work on the series was never finished.
Chelishchev's later style developed as a result of his search for "inner landscapes" inspired by the metamorphoses of the human body.
His works include, in addition to well-known nudes such as Tattooed Man (1934), a number of pen and ink sketches illustrating homoerotic desire, some of which are in the Kinsey Collection of Erotic Art.
The artist also produced watercolor illustrations for Ford and Parker Tyler's gay novel, The Young and Evil (1933). Those illustrations were not published with the text until 1988.
Chelishchev's critical reputation declined in the 1950s and 1960s along with declining interest in figurative art. The retrospective that opened at MOMA's conservative Huntington Hartford Gallery in 1964 was the last show of his career until the 1998 exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, New York.

“I have a live eye,” proclaimed Lincoln Kirstein, signaling his wide-ranging vision. Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern explores this polymath’s sweeping contributions to American cultural life in the 1930s and ’40s. Best known for cofounding New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet with George Balanchine, Kirstein (1907–1996), a writer, critic, curator, impresario, and tastemaker, was also a key figure in MoMA’s early history. With his prescient belief in the role of dance within the museum, his championing of figuration in the face of prevailing abstraction, and his position at the center of a New York network of queer artists, intimates, and collaborators, Kirstein’s impact remains profoundly resonant today.
Bringing together nearly 300 rarely seen artworks alongside materials drawn from the Museum’s Archives, the exhibition illuminates Kirstein’s influence on the Museum’s collecting, exhibition, and publication history. The wide array of works includes set and costume designs for the ballet by Paul Cadmus and Jared French, photographs by Walker Evans and George Platt Lynes, realist and magic realist paintings by Honoré Sharrer and Pavel Tchelitchew, sculpture by Elie Nadelman and Gaston Lachaise, and Latin American art that Kirstein acquired for the Museum by artists such as Antonio Berni and Raquel Forner. Together, these works reveal an alternative and expansive view of modern art.

Pavel Fyodorovich Chelishchev (Russian: Па́вел Фёдорович Че́лищев; Kaluga, September 21, 1898 - Frascati (Rome), July 31, 1957) was a Russian surrealist painter and scenic designer who created several works illustrating homosexual desire.
He was born in the Kaluga Governorate, near Moscow on the estate of his aristocratic family. He was educated by a series of French, German and English tutors, who encouraged his interest in the arts. His father, a follower of Tolstoyan principles, supported his desire to be a painter. Due to his father's liberal views, however, the family was expelled from their property after the October Revolution (1917).
Chelishchev joined the White Movement, and the family fled to kyiv, which was not yet under communist control. Meanwhile, in kyiv he studied with Aleksandra Ekster and produced his first theatrical designs.
By 1920, he was in Odessa, escaping the advancing Red Army. He arrived in Berlin via Istanbul. There he would meet Allen Tanner, an American pianist, and they became lovers. In 1923, they moved to Paris and Chelishchev began painting portraits of the avant-garde and homosexual elite.
Chelishchev developed a penchant for outrageous blues and pinks, calling himself the "Prince of Bad Taste."
Gertrude Stein recounted his entry into the Salon d'Automne in 1925, with Strawberry Baskets (1925), and purchasing all its contents from her studio. In addition to becoming an expert painter, he also became the most innovative of the scenic designers of his time and designed ballets for Sergei Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes in Paris.
Chelishchev's American debut was in a group exhibition of drawings at the MOMA in New York in 1930. In 1934, he moved to that city with his new lover, the writer and critic Charles Henri Ford, and exhibited at the Julien Levy Gallery. He and Ford were at the center of the social world of prominent homosexuals, such as Lincoln Kirstein, for whom he also designed ballets. He continued his work as a designer for George Balanchine's new American Ballet and for A. Everett "Chick" Austin, his friend and director of the pioneering Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.
In 1952, Chelishchev became an American citizen, but shortly afterward he traveled to Frascati, Italy. He suffered a heart attack in 1956 and died on July 31, 1957 in Rome Hospital.
V Although Chelishchev was educated in traditional classical drawing, his first influences were cubism and constructivism. He soon reacted against his emphasis on the geometric shapes of cones and cubes and began working with curves, a decision that led to his representational style, which uses every traditional element of anatomy and perspective.
In 1926, he was included at the Galerie Druet, Paris, in a group showing the title that gave rise to the appellation "Neo-Romantic," a designation applied to the amorphous combination of figurative painters of various temperaments and attitudes. The artist always disapproved of the term; and despite the similarities of his work with artists such as Salvador Dalí, he always denied any association with Surrealism.
Phenomena (Phenomena, 1936-1938), the first painting in a projected series of three major works, aroused violent reactions due to its eerie color and depiction of people then still alive (including a self-portrait and images of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas). The most prominent of the nude male figures in this painting is Nicholas Magellan, a favorite model, who later became a famous dancer.
His second work, Hide and Seek (1940-1942), a strikingly red painting of an enormous tree composed of human body parts, remains one of the most popular paintings at MOMA. The final work on the series was never finished.
Chelishchev's later style developed as a result of his search for "inner landscapes" inspired by the metamorphoses of the human body.
His works include, in addition to well-known nudes such as Tattooed Man (1934), a number of pen and ink sketches illustrating homoerotic desire, some of which are in the Kinsey Collection of Erotic Art.
The artist also produced watercolor illustrations for Ford and Parker Tyler's gay novel, The Young and Evil (1933). Those illustrations were not published with the text until 1988.
Chelishchev's critical reputation declined in the 1950s and 1960s along with declining interest in figurative art. The retrospective that opened at MOMA's conservative Huntington Hartford Gallery in 1964 was the last show of his career until the 1998 exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, New York.

“I have a live eye,” proclaimed Lincoln Kirstein, signaling his wide-ranging vision. Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern explores this polymath’s sweeping contributions to American cultural life in the 1930s and ’40s.

Pavel Tchelitchew
Pavel Tchelitchew (Russian: Па́вел Фёдорович Чели́щев) (21 September 1898, Kaluga, near Moscow – 31 July 1957, Rome) was a Russian-born surrealist painter, set designer and costume designer. Tchelitchew was born to an aristocratic family of landowners and was educated by private tutors. Tchelitchew expressed an early interest in ballet and art. He left Russia in 1920, lived in Berlin from 1921 to 1923, and moved to Paris in 1923. In Paris Tchelitchew became acquainted with Gertrude Stein and, through her, the Sitwell and Gorer families. He and Edith Sitwell had a long-standing close friendship and they corresponded frequently.
His first U.S. show was of his drawings, along with other artists, at the newly opened Museum of Modern Art in 1930. In 1934, he moved from Paris to New York City with his partner, writer Charles Henri Ford. From 1940 to 1947, he provided illustrations for the Surrealist magazine View, edited by Ford and writer and film critic Parker Tyler. His most significant work is the painting Hide and Seek, painted in 1940–42, and currently owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
