Kisling

Joseph Kessel, noted writer and critic has written a delightful text about his friend Kisling, including Kislings recollections as well as his own. Moïse Kisling, born Mojżesz Kisling (Kraków, January 22, 1891 – Sanary-sur-Mer, April 29, 1953) was a Polish-born French painter. He moved to Paris in 1910 and became a French citizen in 1915, after serving and being wounded with the French Foreign Legion in World War I. He emigrated to the United States in 1940 after the fall of France, and returned in 1946
