Evaluations of Alexander Archipenko's creative work stimulate interest in the artist's biography, often provoking a mythologization of his life. Certain narratives become entrenched that, while based on fact, overshadow other lesser-known, brief episodes that were significant for his life and work. The main stages of Archipenko's biography are well known: 1887-1906--his childhood and youth spent in Kyiv; a short-term stay in Moscow; 1908-1920--the French period, the most productive for his creative work and the introduction of new ideas; 1921-1923--a short German period, the beginning of his European fame; and 1923-1964--the American "chapter" that encompassed the latter half of his life and included experiments and pedagogical activity. Here, Susak discusses the time Archipenko spent in France and the attitude toward him there.
