Chuikovs Blue Square (Dedicated to Malevich) highlights the importance of Russian avant-garde theory for the representatives of the non-conformist movement, which many of them started discovering during Khrushchevs Thaw. In the words of the art critic Boris Groys, Chuikov was preoccupied with methods of fragmentation, appropriation and recombination to reveal the pure pictorial quality of his work, to discover the integral and potentially infinite painted surface where certain configurations of form and colour replace each other, but which remains equal to itself forever (B.Groys, Twenty Years Later, in Ivan Chuikov, Moscow: Regina Gallery, 2010, p.114).
