In the years 1930-1938 he headed the photography department of the Paris-Soir magazine. His photographic portrait of the actor Abel Gance ni the image of Jesus Christ (1930) became widely known. After the war, Kitrosser worked for Paris Match magazine. He was an illustrator of the Bibliothèque de l'amitié series of the Parisian publishing house G.-T. Rageot. He also worked as a journalist and chemical engineer. He was a member of the Union of Russian Certified Engineers in France (1968-1978). The first decades of the twentieth century were defined by the energetic deve- lopment of visual and pictorial art. These decades were an era of experimentation, with artists delving into ideas surrounding Post-Impressionism, Expressionism and Abstraction. These innovations inspired artist communities and collectives on an in- ternational scale, with many groups exploring a variety of ways of expressing their ideas. The first twenty years of the twentieth century are noted as the period in art history where modernist and modern ideas initially began to have cultural effects. They were a prolific time in the art world, and industrial advances such as me- chanisation led to other disciplines like architecture, led by the work of Le Corbusier and Gerrit Rietveld, to grow at an equally high rate. The notion of a common disci- pline across all modes of art was epitomised in the Bauhaus movement, which became a leading way ofthinking about art.
