Believed to be an originator of Cubist sculpture, Alexander Archipenko was born in 1887 in Kiev, Russia (now Ukraine). His desire to study art began at age 13 when his artist-grandfather gave him a book on Michelangelo’s drawings to while away the hours as he recovered from a bicycle accident. Archipenko began his studies in Kiev, moving to Paris in 1908. There he studied briefly at the École des Beaux-Arts. Finding the academy too confining, he left to exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Independents, subsequently joining the Cubist group Section d’Or.
