He studied painting under his father, Nikolai Lozovoy (1901-1983), who attended classes by Kazimir Malevich, Pavel Filonov, and Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin. Another mentor and teacher of Alexander was Varvara Bubnova (1886-1983), who worked in an artistic manner that belonged to the Expressionist movement and, before moving to Japan, collaborated with the key associations of the Russian avant-garde: the Bubnovy Valet, the Donkey’s Tail, the Union of Youth.
