Pinchus Kremegne (1890-1981), a sculptor, painter and lithographer, one of the School of Paris artists, was born in Belarus to a Jewish family. Kremegne Studied sculpting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vilnius, alongside his friends Chaïm Soutine and Michel Kikoïne. In 1912, approx. a year before Chaim Soutine, he moved to Paris, living at the La Ruche artists' residence in Montparnasse. Influenced by Cubism, Fauvism and Expressionism, he ceased sculpting and took to painting instead. He befriended the artists Chagall, Léger and Modigliani (who even painted his portrait). His works were exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon des Tuileries and in other important exhibitions. In his last years, he lived in Céret in southern France, painting its views.
