Sergei Aleksandrovich Zalshupin (pseudonym Serge Chubine or Serge Choubine, born in 1898 (or 1900), Saint Petersburg - November 3, 1931, Paris) was a Russian and French portraitist, landscape painter, book illustrator and graphic artist.

Biography

Zalshupin was born in Saint Petersburg as a son of A. S. Zalshupin, publisher of the Энциклопедии банковского дела (Encyclopedia of Banking) and the newspapers Русский экономист (Russian Economist) and Жизнь и суд (Life and Law Court). From 1915 up to 1918 he studied art at the Новой художественной мастерской (New Art Studio) under the painters Vasily Shukhaev and Alexandre Jacovleff.

In 1921 Zalshupin emigrated to Berlin, where he worked for Russian émigré publications, providing portrait sketches. He took part in art exhibitions, as the Exhibition of Original Drawings of Petrograd Bookplates (1923), and became a member of the board of the Berlin Haus der Kunst. In 1923, the Berlin publishing house Гамаюн (Gamayun) released an album of the artist's etchings, Portraits of Modern Russian Writers, in an edition of 100 copies, which included portraits of Alexander Blok, Andrei Bely, Maxim Gorky, Boris Pilnyak, Ivan Shmelev, and others. That same year, he illustrated the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, translated by Vladimir Nabokov.

In 1924, Zalshupin emigrated again, now to France where he lived in Paris. At the art Salon d'Automne (Autumn Salon) in Paris of 1924 and 1930 he presented his works under the pseudonym Serge Chubine.

He died in 1931 in Paris where he was nearby buried at the Cimetière parisien de Bagneux, Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine.
