Life and work
Born in Kiev. Father, Porfiry Antonovich Arkhipenko, served as a mechanic at Kiev University. After studying two classes at the real school of Walker, Alexander in 1902 moved to the Kiev Art College , from which he was expelled in November 1905 for participating in a student strike caused by the outbreak of the revolution of 1905-1907. In 1906, together with Alexander Bogomazov, he organized the first exhibition of his works in Kiev.
In the same year he moved to Moscow, where he continued his education at the Moscow School of Painting, Architecture and Sculpture.
In 1908 he moved to Paris. In 1908-1914 he lives in the international colony of artists “ Houllier ” (French: La Ruche), in 1910 he exhibited in the Salon of Independents along with A. Exter, Malevich, Picasso, Braque, Derain, etc.
In 1921 he opened his school-studio in Berlin. Arkhipenko’s works are close to cubism : he transferred what cubist artists had experimented with in painting to sculpture [5] . He actively used the so-called " negative space " in sculpture.
In 1923 he moved to the United States, in 1929 received American citizenship. In 1934 he designed the Ukrainian pavilion at an exhibition in Chicago. Since 1937 he taught at the New Bauhaus. He was buried in the Woodlon cemetery .
