Kirill Zdanevich was a Georgian-born artist, writer, and designer who was associated with several modernist movements in the early 20th century. He is known for his contributions to the avant-garde movements of Futurism, Cubo-Futurism, and Suprematism. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, Zdanevich studied art in Moscow and became involved with the Russian Futurist movement in 1912. He soon became associated with other avant-garde artists and writers, including Kazimir Malevich and Vladimir Mayakovsky. In 1913, he published the first issue of the Futurist journal "Zhar-Ptica" (Firebird) with his brother Ilia Zdanevich, which became an important platform for the Futurist movement in Russia. During World War I, Zdanevich served as a military artist and designed propaganda posters for the Russian army. After the war, he continued to work as an artist and designer, producing works that combined elements of Futurism, Cubism, and Suprematism. He also worked as a book designer and illustrator, producing many innovative designs for books and magazines. In the 1920s, Zdanevich left Russia and settled in Paris, where he continued to work as an artist and designer. He was associated with the Dada and Surrealist movements and continued to produce works that explored the possibilities of abstraction and geometric form. He also worked as a fashion designer, creating costumes for the Ballets Russes and other dance companies. Zdanevich's work has been exhibited widely in Europe and the United States and is held in many major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. He is recognized as one of the leading figures of the Russian avant-garde and as a major contributor to the development of modernist art and design in the early 20th century.
