Aleksandr Evgen'evich Iakovlev (1887-1938)

'Within two years of his arrival in Paris [in 1919], Iacovleff had an exhibition of his Chinese and Japanese paintings at a distinguished Paris gallery, and an eminent French art publisher, Lucien Vogel, issued a lavish book on his Asian work.
Iacovleff was now making enough of an income to vacation with a group of fellow artists on the Mediterranean island of Port-Cross. An American artist who summered there with the same circle, the sculptor Malvina Hoffman, remembered him as "a dynamic, imaginative personality around whom an ever widening circle of friends revolved" and tells of his industriousness and his exuberant gift for friendship.'

In 1924, with a similar group of artists, Iakovlev went to Capri.
