About Antoine Pevsner
Antoine Pevsner (born Anton (Natan) Abramovich (Borisovich) Pevzner; Russian: Антон [Натан] Абрамович [Борисович] Певзнер; 30 January [O.S. 18 January] 1886 – 12 April 1962) was a Russian-born French sculptor and the older brother of Alexii Pevsner and Naum Gabo. As the originators of Constructivism and pioneers of kinetic art, the brothers are considered pioneers of twentieth-century sculpture. They made numerous prominent pieces, for instance Antoine's widely known sculpture The Flight of the Bird, located at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. He began sculpting in 1923 and created assemblages in plastic, devising forms to give them colours through the interaction of components of the light spectrum. Among the originators of and having coined the term, Constructivism, and pioneers of kinetic art, Pevsner and his brother Naum Gabo discovered a new use for metals and welding and made a new marriage of art and mathematics.
