Abraham Mintchine (4 April 1898 – 25 April 1931) was one of the major painters associated to the artists' environment known as School of Paris.[1] A Jewish painter, born in Kyiv, he immigrated to Paris in 1925.[2] His known artwork was produced mostly while in Paris and la Garde, between 1926 and 1931.
He is famous for vibrant paintings where mysticism is also often present. His work can be related to expressionism, although as highlighted by Giovanni Testori, these categories which are convenient in art history are often too narrow to characterize painters like Mintchine.[3]
