In 1912, he went to Paris where he quickly became interested in the Cubist Movement, studying under Henri Le Fauconnier. During the World War I, he took refuge in Barcelona where he met the painters Albert Gleizes, Marie Laurencin, and Francis Picabia. After the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917, he tried to return to Russia, but failed and returned back to Paris where he became a prominent figure of the Dadaist movement. Over the following decades, his works developed the muted lyricism of form and color for which he is best remembered.
