Landscape and figure painter Nicolai S.

He emigrated to the United States in 1923, exhibiting in that year in New York City at the Charles Daniels Gallery. In 1942, Cikovsky began spending summers on Long Island, New York, in the North Sea area, where he moved permanently in the late 1970s. He painted many land and seascapes there, and is said to have been an influence on two well-known area painters, Jane Freilicher and Fairfield Porter. He was of the generation of emigrant artists that included Ben Shahn, Isaac Soyer, Robert Philipp, Moses Soyer, Raphael Soyer, Lawrence Lebduska, Robert Brackman, Abraham Rattner and Ben Benn. Cikovski was a member of New York City institutions, including the National Academy of Design (Associate 1968; Academician 1970); National Institute of Arts and Letters; and Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers.
