A friend of Emilio Terry and Jean-Charles Moreux, Russian artist André Beloborodoff (1886-1965) built palaces, castles and villas for the Café Society, using modern building techniques as reinforced concrete, and decorated, among others, the Yusupov Palace in Saint-Petersburg and the Château de Caulaincourt in France.

Exiled from Russia in 1917, he first settled in London before living between France and Italy, where he became one of the main architects of Mussolini's regime. But the most important part of his architectural work is in his surrealist and metaphysical painting, praised by Paul Valéry, Mario Praz, Henri de Régnier or Jean-Louis Vaudoyer.

This important monograph recounts the life and career of Beloborodoff, underlining his vision of history and modernity.
