Sergey Yurievich Sudeikin (Russian: Сергей Юрьевич Судейкин), also known as Serge Soudeikine, was a Russian artist and set-designer renowned for his vivid contributions to the world of art and theater. Born on March 19, 1882, in Smolensk, Russia, and passing away on August 12, 1946, in Nyack, New York, Sudeikin's career was a testament to his versatile talent and innovative vision. He was closely associated with prestigious institutions such as the Ballets Russes and the Metropolitan Opera, showcasing his unique ability to blend artistic and theatrical design.

His circle included significant figures like poet Mikhail Kuzmin and impresario Serge Diaghilev, highlighting his integral role in Russia's cultural scene before emigrating to the West.
Among Sudeikin's notable works are his set and costume designs for Diaghilev's production of "La tragédie de Salomé" and his collaboration on "The Rite of Spring". After moving to the United States, he continued to leave his mark on the theater world, with works like the set design for the original Broadway production of "Porgy and Bess". Sudeikin's style is recognized for its theatricality, vivid color use, and often incorporated themes of irony and tragedy, deeply influencing the visual arts and theater design of the 20th century.
His artwork, including famous pieces like "Carousel", "Venetian masquerade", and "Portrait of Nina Shik", can be found in galleries and private collections worldwide, highlighting his enduring appeal. Despite facing challenges in gaining widespread recognition during his lifetime, Sudeikin's contributions to art and theater have solidified his legacy as a pioneering artist and designer.
