Biography
[edit | edit source]
Chashnik was born to a Jewish family in 1902, Lucyn, Russian Empire, currently Ludza, Latvia. He started studying in Yehuda Pen's art school at Vitebsk when he was just eleven years old.[3] He became a student of Marc Chagall.[3] By 1918, he moved to Moscow to work in an art workshop directed by Kazimir Malevich.[3] He returned after Malevich accepted a senior teaching position at Vitebsk School of Drawing and Painting.[3]
Chashnik was notably able in a variety of media. Aleksandra Semenovna Shatskikh describes him as "famous for his inexhaustible inventiveness and ability to apply Suprematist principles to virtually all forms of art, including easel painting."[4] He painted, was proficient in metalwork, and designed ceramics produced at the Imperial Porcelain Factory (then known as the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory).[4][5] Chasnik, along with Nikolai Suetin, was recruited by the factory during his time as a UNOVIS member.[6]
He died in 1929 in Leningrad, at the age of 27.
The University of Texas at Austin held an exhibition dedicated to his works in 1981.[7]
