Biography: Rozhdestvensky

(b Tomsk, 1 April 1906). Russian decorative artist and designer. He studied from 1923 to 1927 at Inkhuk in Leningrad (now St Petersburg) under Kazimir Malevich, Mikhail Matyushin and others. ‘We worked not only with colour but with space as well’, recollected Rozhdestvensky, ‘Above all we studied painting as the basis for contemporary perception and expression in art. The comprehension of form in contemporary painting, material essential both for architecture and for sculpture’ (Dek. Isk. SSSR , 1987, no. 9, p. 41).
