Adolf Izrailevich Milman

Adolf Izrailevich Milman (Russian: Адольф Израилевич Мильман) was a Russian and French painter, born in 1886 in Kishinev, then part of the Russian Empire, into a large Jewish family. He initially studied at a commercial school in Kishinev before moving with his family to Moscow in the early 1900s, where he entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Milman's early career was marked by his attendance at the art studio of Ilya Mashkov, a significant influence and a close friend. He was deeply involved in the Russian avant-garde art scene, becoming a member of the Jack of Diamonds group in 1911 and later joining the World of Art association along with notable artists like Robert Falk and Alexander Lentulov​​.

Milman's work was characterized by his engagement with the Jack of Diamonds group, where he exhibited his pieces in their group exhibitions between 1912 and 1914. His artworks from this period include vibrant landscapes and still lifes, reflecting the avant-garde movements of the time. By 1917, he had joined the World of Art association, contributing to its exhibitions and emphasizing his evolving artistic style. Beyond his creation, Milman also dedicated time to teaching at Ilya Mashkov's private studio of painting and drawing until his health was compromised by tuberculosis, leading him to seek treatment in Crimea annually from 1914​​​​.

Milman's later years saw him move to France, where he continued to participate in the Russian art exhibitions in Paris and the Hague, further cementing his role in the broader European art scene until his death in 1930​​.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Milman's work represents a bridge between Russian and French avant-garde art movements, embodying the vibrant cultural exchanges of the early 20th century. His pieces, often displayed in museums and galleries, offer a glimpse into the dynamic art scene of his time.
