Biography

The multifaceted American painter and artist, whose creative endeavors transcended traditional boundaries, ventured into the realm of film, leaving an indelible mark on the cinematic world.

As a co-founder of the Dada movement, he played a pivotal role in shaping the avant-garde art scene, and his involvement in the Surrealist movement solidified his position as a leading American artist of the era.

During the 1920s, he embarked on an expatriate journey to Paris, where he became an integral part of the "Lost Generation" – a collective of innovative thinkers and creatives who defined the city's vibrant cultural landscape.

His artistic repertoire extended far beyond painting, as he also explored photography and collage, pushing the boundaries of creative expression.

On the silver screen, he made his acting debut in René Clair's film, and later served as assistant director to the enigmatic Marcel Duchamp on another project.
