• comment. Some of his works have a stroke of something... But he died too early to make a statement of his own (unlike, for example, Lazar Hiedekel or El Lissitsky). I really doubt that there will be sufficient sources to represent him as an independent artist, rather than just another pupil of the Vitebsk school. East of Borschov 19:37, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. 76 English Gbook mentions on "Ilya Chashnik" [2], 74 Gbook English mentions for "Ilia Chashnik". [3]. This is pretty good for a guy who died in 1929. His works are sold by Sothebys. [4]. More detail in an EN publication is here, unfortunately behind a paywall, but you can see a snippet containing the words 'For too long, the creative genius of Chashnik has eluded scholarship. This exhibition begins to explain his major contributions to the larger field of Russian modernism." [5] From ArtDaily in 2010: 'Among the masterworks selected by Hadid [that is, Zaha Hadid] for the show are pieces by Ilya Chashnik, El Lissitzky, Kasimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and Nikolai Suetin.'
