Antoine Pevsner (18 January 1886-12 April 1962) was a Russian sculptor and the older brother of Alexii Pevsner and Naum Gabo. Both Antoine and Naum are considered pioneers of twentieth-century sculpture. Among the originators of and having coined the term, Constructivism, and pioneers of Kinetic Art, they discovered a new use for metals and welding and made a new marriage of art and mathematics.
"Art must be inspiration controlled by mathematics. I have a need for peace, symphony, orchestration."- Antoine Pevsner
Pevsner's studio was on the outskirts of Paris and housed his sculptures. He was one of the first to use the blowtorch in sculpture, welding copper rods onto sculptural forms.
Along with his brother, Naum, he issued the Realist Manifesto in 1920. Works: Projection dymamique; Caracas, Venezuela (1951)
