great traveller and a portraitist emeritus in the eyes of an ethnographer, Alexandre Iacovleff was chosen as the official painter for the two expeditions launched by André Citroën, which enabled him to
consecrate his talent as a painter.
In 1924, the Black Cruise crossed the Sahara, Niger, Chad and Congo to reach Madagascar. The expedition made it possible to build up an important African collection in natural sciences, to bring back 6,000 photographs, to make a film, to publish
several stories and writings.
In 1931, the Yellow Cruise took explorers from Persia to China. He will bring back an inconsiderable number of drawings, especially portraits of the team members and cross-faced faces
