Pestel Vera Efremovna (1887-1952)
Trained in Munich under the Hungarian painter Simon Hollosy, among others, from 1909 to 1911. She later traveled across Germany, Italy and France.
In 1912-1913, she studied under Le Fauconnier and Metzinger at La Palette in Paris.
Around 1915-1916, her paintings bore similarities to Malevich’s alogism, with a profusion of geometrical planes and heterogeneous elements (numbers, letters, fragments of objects).
