Nikolai Suetin

1897

1954

An artist affiliated with Russian Suprematism, Suetin not only applied Kazimir Malevich’s artistic theories to painting but was also interested in putting them into practice in everyday life. From 1918 to 1922 he studied at the Vitebsk Art School run by Marc Chagall, where he met Malevich. Even during this formative period Suetin, together with Ilya Chashnik, became one of Malevich’s closest collaborators and a faithful champion of Suprematism, contributing to its dissemination through publications, by organizing exhibitions, and by establishing the Unovis (Affirmers of the New Art) group, Suetin is highlighted with a red line).
