Biography
Jacques (Ya'akov) Chapiro (1887–1972), a Jewish painter of the School of Paris, was born in Dinaburg, Russian Empire (now Daugavpils, Latvia) and died in Paris in 1972. Being a son of a wood sculptor, he began his artistic education at the early age of ten. In 1915, at the age of 18 he moved to Poland to attend the Krakow academy of fine art and in 1918 he moved the Ukraine to study in the Academy of Fine Arts of Kiev. During the Russian Civil War, while pursuing his studies, he contributed to the revolution efforts by painting posters. In 1921, he studied art in Petrograd, and during this period he worked as a decorator in the Meyerhold Theater. He worked for Stanislavski and Vakhtangov, both notorious in the field of theater. In 1925, he left Russia in favor of Paris. As of 1926, he exhibited his works at the Salon des Indépendants, the Tuileries and other places as well. In 1939 he became a refugee. When the war ended he returned to France and later opposed the demolition of La Ruche in 1967 and founded, along with Marc Chagall and Raymond Cogniat, a committee that fought against this move. The committee succeeded in its cause. Chapiro’s works can be found in museums in the United States, Russia and France. As to his artistic style, his many paintings are much different from one another; some are definitely Cubistic in style, some Impressionists and others Fauvists. Throughout his artistic career, Chapiro kept sketching in his unique signature, with a light and talented hand. It is in his realistic sketching, which are somewhat casual, that one can be truly impressed by his talent.
