Biography

Pevsner was born as Natan Borisovich Pevzner[1] in Oryol, Russian Empire,[2] into a Jewish family. 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. Pevsner said: "Art must be inspiration controlled by mathematics. I have a need for peace, symphony, orchestration."[3] He was one of the first to use the blowtorch in sculpture, welding copper rods onto sculptural forms[4] and along with his brother, Naum, he issued the Realist Manifesto in 1920.[1]

He left the Soviet Union in 1923 and moved to Paris, where he would live for the rest of his life.[1]

Among the honors he received were a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris (1956-7) and the Legion of Honour (1961).[1]

Pevsner is buried in Paris.[5]
