Ivan Kliun (Иван Васильевич Клюн)

Russian Suprematist and Constructivist painter, graphic artist and sculptor. Participated in exhibitions of the Soyuz Molodyozhi (Union of Youth) group and joined Malevich's Supremus group in 1915. Also associated with the 'Tvorchestvo' (Creativity/Creative Work) section introduced into 'Anarkhiia' in early 1918, that specialised in art and literature. Later taught at the Vkhutemas (Moscow state art and technical school) before sinking into obscurity like many of the revolutionary artists that chose to stay in the Soviet Union rather than go abroad.
