Kubista was an interesting artist and critic, who was greatly influenced by a number of painters, van Gogh, Munch, C\u00e9zanne among them. He held contact to the German expressionist group <em>Die Br\u00fccke, <\/em>but developed an original style. Other than yours truly who just jumped into montage work without any formal schooling, he took studies seriously, worked on color theory, mathematics and geometry and analyzed the old masters. His life was short, born in 1884 he perished in the 1918 flu epidemic after spending his last years of life in the army.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-354 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Unknown.jpeg?resize=337%2C462&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Unknown\" width=\"337\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Unknown.jpeg?w=192&amp;ssl=1 192w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Unknown.jpeg?resize=80%2C110&amp;ssl=1 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I photographed these young Russian sailors some years back in San Francisco&#8217;s Chinatown while they\u00a0perused every touristy junk display up and down the street.
