Q. Are you related to Sacha Zaliouk or the Lerner family?
No. I am purely interested in Sacha’s life and art. I love history, researching and compiling information, and I find Sacha very interesting. I have more detail on the purpose of this blog here.
Q. How did you discover Sacha Zaliouk?
I was researching artwork in French media for a thesis on colonial exhibitions. I came across La Vie Parisienne and Le Sourire when searching through the most popular magazines of the period.
While looking through the art, I saw a piece by Sacha and became interested in his background. When I finished my thesis, I continued to look into Sacha’s art and life.
Q. Can you authenticate a piece of artwork alleged to be Sacha’s?
No, I am not qualified in any way to authenticate a piece by Sacha. At most I could say if I have seen it anywhere on an archive (e.g Gallica) but I will not be able to verify any work or tell you if his signature is 100% legitimate.
I am not an artist historian, never formally studied art, and don’t claim to know anything more than what anyone else could learn via Google where it concerns specific art styles/movements/time periods. I emphasise this answer so strongly because I respect Sacha’s work and legacy and leave that to curators/art historians who hold the most knowledge in this regard!
Thank you for your understanding.
Q. Are there any images of Sacha?
I have a post here where I detail all and any images of Sacha that I have found.
