In 1920, he went to paris to study art at the académie de la grande chaumière. Welcomed by compatriots like mikhail larionov and soutine, tereshkovitch settled in montparnasse, where his close friends included moïse kisling and andré lanskoy. Kostia terechkovitch would ultimately become the only montparnasse artist from the interwar school of paris to maintain his own racing stable, a sign of his keen interest in sport and luxury living. Kostia tereshkovitch was a key member of the loose alliance of colorists known as poetic reality; others included roland oudot, maurice brianchon, andré planson, jules cavaillès and roger limouse. His name is variously transliterated - sometimes constantine, sometimes tereschkovitch.
