Paolo Troubetzkoy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Paolo Troubetzkoy (Verbania Intra near Lago Maggiore,Italy, 15 February 1866 — Verbania Pallanza near Lago Maggiore, 12 February 1938), also known as Paul, was an artist and a sculptor. He worked in Russia, America, England and Italy. He was a self taught artist, although he learned sculpture from Giuseppe Grandi. He is associated with impressionism, due to his ability to grasp sketchy movements in his bronze works. He portraited the society of the belle epoque. Few of his bronzes are still available in the market. Quite famous is the 35 cm high portrait of Costance Stewart Richardson called "The Dancer".
Paolo Troubetzkoy:
As I cannot kill, I cannot authorize others to kill. Do you see? If you are buying from a butcher you are authorizing him to kill - to kill helpless creatures which neither you nor I could kill ourselves.
