Romans Suta (1896-1944) was a Latvian painter and potter.
Contents
Suta was born in Cēsis and worked in Riga with Jūlijs Madernieks. He met and married the painter Aleksandra Beļcova and moved with her to Paris, Berlin and Dresden before settling in Latvia where they introduced the Latvian public to Cubism and where he opened a pottery studio. In 1941, with his staff of the studio he was deported to Moscow, then to Almaty, and finally in Tbilisi where after a show trial he was executed on 14 July 1944.
Suta was posthumously rehabilitated in 1959. The former flat of Aleksandra Belcova and Romans Suta on Elizabetes street 57A-26 in Riga has been turned into the memorial museum and art gallery Sutas un Beļcovas Muzejs with over 4,000 works of art by the couple, mostly donated by their daughter Tatjana Suta.
