When Lazar Khidekel (1904-86) first met his mentor Kazimir Malevich he was a 15 year old student at the Vitebsk art school where Malevich had recently taken a teaching position. Khidekel soon became something like the master’s right hand and in 1920 also became an important member of the Malevich’s UNOVIS group as well as the successor of El Lissitzky as person in charge of the school’s architecture department. In 1923 he followed Malevich to the GINKhUK in Leningrad and in parallel studied architecture at the local Civil Engineering Institute. Khidekel wholeheartedly embraced Suprematism and translated its principles to buildings that could really be built: in 1926 Khidekel designed a Workers’ Club and 1927, while still a student, realized a Sports Club that saw him fuse the spatial ideas of Suprematism with pragmatic concerns for materials and construction methods. Unfortunately his Suprematist experiments were cut short by the rise of Stalin and his strict doctrines which forced Khidekel to resort to Classicism.
The eventful story of the architect’s life is laid out in "Lazar Khidekel and Suprematism", edited by Regina Khidekel and published by Prestel in 2014, the first ever comprehensive publication on Khidekel. The book contains a wealth of drawings that illustrate Khidekel’s transition from early Cubo-Futurism to pure Suprematism and to his Suprematist architectural projects and later works. These are supplemented with a number of essays that e.g. explore Khidekel’s work within the UNOVIS group, the cosmic dimension of Suprematist architecture and his architectural works from the 1920s and 1930s. Through the juxtaposition of insightful texts and the larger number of illustrations one gains a deeper understanding of Suprematist architecture, the towering example of Kazimir Malevich and Russian Avant-garde in general. Highly recommended!
