Lazar Khidekel and Suprematism
For decades the work of Lazar Khidekel has been undeservedly overlooked by galleries and museums — primarily because the Russian avant-garde movement was interrupted midstream and forced underground by the Soviet state. This elegantly designed book provides the perfect introduction to Khidekel’s decades-long career and coincides with a recently renewed fascination with Suprematism and the development of 20th-century abstraction. A student of Chagall and Malevich, Khidekel was an artistic prodigy whose fascination with architecture led to his part in the founding of UNOVIS, or champions of the new art. He later became a significant figure in the Suprematist movement, a distinctly Russian form of abstraction.
