TABLEAU "USINE, FUMEUR CHAT" by Jean LAMBERT-RUCKI (1888-1967) Framed oil on panel, signed and dated "1919" upper left. Certificate of authenticity enclosed. Size: 72.5 x 60 cm Good condition He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown from an early age, where he rubbed shoulders with his compatriot Moses Kisling, under the Munich influence that prevailed in Krakow at the time. Like Kisling, his teacher was Józef Pankiewicz, who had been to France and had met the Impressionists Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard. Pankiewitz encouraged Kisling to go to Paris, and probably Rucki too. In 1909, an exhibition of Picasso's work was held in Munich. Rucki discovers Cubism and "Negro art", and travels constantly to Eastern European cities: Vienna, Moscow, where he makes portraits to earn a living. He came into contact with this milieu, in which international art from Paris was very present, and where Cubism was disseminated. As early as 1910, a traveling Art Français exhibition showed Cubist works in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kiev. Around 1909 or 1910, Rucki saw a Gauguin exhibition in Krakow. He decided to leave for France. In February 1911, he moved to Paris and enrolled at the Académie Colarossi. There he met up again with his compatriot Moïse Kisling, who had arrived in France a year earlier. He shared a room with Modigliani on rue de la Grande Chaumière, and became very close to Soutine, who had arrived in Paris the same year. Soutine's studio was located at La Ruche, where Marc Chagall, Blaise Cendrars, Gustave Miklos and, a little later, Fernand Léger were already living.
