One of Malevich’s most famous works, Black Square, was made in the Suprematism style and was painted in 1915.
The staff of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam has reclassified the artist Kazimir Malevich as a Ukrainian. In the past, he was considered a Russian. It was reported by The Art Newspaper.
A museum spokesman said information about the avant-garde artist has been changed in texts on the walls and on the website.
In particular, the press secretary of the Stedelijk Museum said that Malevich grew up in an international family: his father was a Pole, and his mother was Ukrainian, and he was born in Kiev in 1879, when the city was part of Russian Empire. .
In addition, the curators of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York identified the artists Ivan Aivazovsky, Arkhip Kuindzhi and Ilya Repin as Ukrainian, and not Russian artists, as stated in the descriptions of their paintings earlier.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky, who opposed the war in Ukraine, made a depiction of the Russian flag of the future.
