Malevich was born in Kiev, Ukraine, under the Russian Empire. He studied at the Kiev School of Art (1895–1896), the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture (1904–1910) and in the studio of Fedor Rerberg in Moscow (1904–1910).

No joke. He was a famous Ukrainian painter of the Russian avant-garde, and I believe that this is one of his most famous works. If some think it is too abstract, how about this one this one. —dima/s-ko/ 03:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Enthusiastic support. But first I this done after the Black Square painting article, currently a redirect to Malevich, is written. See ru:Чёрный квадрат. This painting is so big in every respect, that before exposing it we need to have an article first. --Irpen 04:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Defenetly. If we create it, it might stand the chance of being a DYK. —dima/s-ko/ 04:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks

Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of Turkey is a famous painting by the Russian artist Ilya Repin. The 2.58-metre by 2.03-metre canvas was started in 1880 and not finished until 1891. Repin recorded the years of work along the lower edge of the canvas. Alexander III bought the painting for 35,000 rubles, at the time the greatest sum ever paid for a Russian painting. Since then, the canvas has been exhibited in the Russian Museum of Alexander III in Saint Petersburg.

Great quality for such a historic painting and is now a Featured picture on the Commons. —dima/s-ko/ 00:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Taras Shevchenko

Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (March 9 [O.S. February 25] 1814 – March 10 [O.S. February 26] 1861) was a Ukrainian poet, also an artist and a humanist. His literary heritage is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and, to a large extent, of modern Ukrainian language. Shevchenko also wrote in Russian and left several masterpiece paintings.

Even though this is not a painting, I think this is a good representation of the famous Ukrainian poet and painter. Can we allow it? —dima/s-ko/ 02:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support. What do you mean it's not a painting? Isn't it a self-portrait?--Riurik ^(discuss) 22:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The particular image file is not of exceptionally high quality or resolution. Not too bad either. The image itself is no doubt worthy. --Irpen 00:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
