Dimensions : 50 x 50 cm Signed : Lower left Provenance : Private collection, Moscow Condition : Good The artist Ivan Puni was born in Kuokkala (then Grand Duchy of Finland in the Russian Empire, now Repino in Russia) to a family of Italian origins[1]. He is the grandson of the famous Italian-Russian composer of ballet music Cesare Pugni. In 1909-1910 he studied in various workshops, including the Académie Julian in Paris. In 1915 Puni together with the group of avant-garde artists (Aleksandra Ekster, Liubov Popova, Ivan Kliun, Ksenia Boguslavskaya, Olga Rozanova, Nadezhda Udaltsova, Nina Genke and others) joined Supremus a group led by the founder of Suprematism, Kazimir Malevich. In 1915-1916 Puni, together with other suprematist artists, worked at Verbovka Village Folk Centre. In 1919 he taught at the Vitebsk Art School under Marc Chagall.
