Unexpected Malevich
Nov 15, 2018 - Jan 14, 2019
The Russian Museum could boast of the largest and most comprehensive collection of paintings by Kazimir Malevich in the world. However, there had been only 35 graphic works by the renowned avantgardist in the museum鈥檚 collection before the receipt of an invaluable gift. Drawings, nevertheless, comprise a very important part of the artist鈥檚 legacy. It is in them that ideas and insights are first captured in material form, to be later realized in paintings. Fortunately, many of Malevich鈥檚 graphic works that had not been scattered across museums and private collections were preserved in the archive of A. Leporskaya and N. Suetin, Malevich鈥檚 students and associates. With great joy, the Russian Museum received a precious gift of 117 drawings by Malevich from R. F. Strimaitis, made in accordance with the will of N. Suetina, heir to Anna Leporskaya and daughter of Nikolay Suetin.
