Kazimir Severinovich Malevich, February 23, 1879–May 15, 1935, was a painter and art theorist born in Kyiv to Polish parents. He studied in Fyodor Rerberg’s private studio in Moscow after an unsuccessful application to the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

Malevich exhibited with the Jack of Diamonds, The Donkey’s Tail, and the Union of Youth, and worked with Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, and Mikhail Matyushin. He developed Suprematism in 1915 and later taught at the art school in Vitebsk, where his students included El Lissitzky.

His works are held by the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and The Museum of Modern Art, New York
