Pyotr Miturich Biography

(b St Petersburg, 12 Sept 1887; d Moscow, 27 Oct 1956). Russian painter, graphic artist and designer. He studied at the Kiev School of Art (1906–9) and in St Petersburg, at the Academy of Arts (1909–16). While serving in the army (1916–21) he may have received some education in military engineering. Between 1918 and 1922 he made a series of abstract painted reliefs and constructions, using paper, cardboard and wood. He called these works ‘Spatial Graphics’, ‘Spatial Posters’ and ‘Spatial Paintings’. Influenced by Cubism and Futurism and current experiments of the Russian avant-garde, these pieces showed a painterly concern with relationships of line, plane and volume in both real and illusory space. Miturich subsequently destroyed all of these structures, except for Spatial Graphics No. 46 of 1921 and the graphic alphabet of small cubes of 1919 (both Moscow, artist’s family priv. col., see Lodder, pls 1.43 and 1.46).
