Alexandre Zinoview

Born in Moscow, Alexandre Zinoview settled in Paris in 1909 and moved in bohemian Montparnasse circles. Having joined the Foreign Legion in 1914, he drew a substantial body of paintings from his experience at the front, examples of which are held by the Musée de la Grande Guerre in Meaux. A painter and photographer, he belonged to the cosmopolitan milieu of Russian artists in Paris.
