Creates first sculpto-paintings. Develops sculptural elements of color, the void, concave and convex, and geometric forms further.
“Archipenko challenged the traditional understanding of sculpture. It was generally monochromatic at the time. His pieces were painted in bright colors. Instead of accepted materials such as marble, bronze or plaster, he used mundane materials such as wood, glass, metal, and wire. His creative process did not involve carving or modeling in the accepted tradition but nailing, pasting and tying together, with no attempt to hide nails, junctures or seams. His process parallels the visual experience of cubist painting.”
-Juan Gris
August 1: Germany declares war against France and Russia. Many artists leave Paris and move to the South of France.

“America is the only country not jaded and rent by war. It is the land where the great art of the future will be produced. America fires my imagination more than any other country and embodies more of that flexibility, that yeastiness, which means life and vitality and movement.”

Lives in Chicago. Invited by László Moholy-Nagy to teach at the New Bauhaus Chicago as head of Modelling Workshop.
“The credit for the first conscious use of concaves in sculpture – to replace saliences – is due to Archipenko... His attempt leads the observer, by its evident deviation from the customary naturalistic treatment, to a realization of the elementary possibilities of the positive-negative relations.”

“The quality of my work cannot be measured by its abstractness as conservatism, by its geometrical angularity as curvatures, but only by the large totality of its content and its variety of expression. My old works contain elements of the new, and the new contains elements of the old. By eating only a single apple, one cannot judge the size of the apple tree. History proves that works of art with a truly spiritual content remain immune to criticism.”
