Vera Ermolaeva
Vera Ermolaeva (Russian: Ве́ра Миха́йловна Ермола́ева) (November 2, 1893 – September 26, 1937) was a Russian painter, graphic artist and illustrator who participated in the Russian avant-garde movement. She was arrested for "anti-Soviet activities" and sent to a work camp in Karaganda, where she died in 1937.
Vitebsk Art School
Vera Ermolaeva arrived in Vitebsk in early April 1919. She studied in Petrograd (now known as Saint Petersburg) and worked in the museum section of the capital. Until 1922 she worked with Kazimir Malevich and was the assistant director of the Vitebsk Art School under Marc Chagall.[1] She participated in the Union of Youth (Soyuz Molodyozhi) and UNOVIS groups. While in Vitebsk, she worked on a series of murals inspired by Suprematism.[2]
Book illustrations
In the late 1920s, Ermolaeva produced illustrations for children's books.[3] One collaboration with Daniil Kharms was called "Ivan Ivanych Samovar."
