Marcoussis was a French-born Polish painter and engraver. His real name was Ludwik Kazimierz Władysław Markus, but once he transferred to Paris he changed his name under Apollinaire' suggestion, adopting the French pseudonym of "Marcoussis" inspired by a suburb of the city.
His first paintings were essentially impressionist, but since 1910 he embraced the Cubist trend alongside Picasso, Braque and Juan Gris. His works were exhibited on various occasions both in Europe and the USA, and in the Section d'Or in 1912.

Presentation
Marcoussis is the pseudonym of the French-born Polish painter Ludwik Casimir Markus, who came from a wealthy Jewish family in Warsaw. He moved to Paris in 1903 and gained French nationality thanks to the value demonstrated during World War I. He made his first impressionist paintings and earned money by selling caricatures to satirical magazines, including "La Vie Parisienne" and "Le Journal". He attentively attended Parisian coffees as La Rotonde, Cirque Médrano and L'Ermitage, where he met Edgar Degas around 1906 and Braque, Picasso, Gris and Apollinaire in 1910. Apollinaire, the influential poet of the Calligrams, suggests him to adopt the French pseudonym of "Marcoussis", inspired by a suburb of Paris near Montlhéry. The Apollinaire's influence will never abandon him.
