Malevich

After flirtations with Realism, Impressionism, AND Symbolism, Kiev-born Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) found his métier in dissolving literal, representational figures AND landscapes into pure emotionally-charged abstraction. In 1915, he created what is widely lauded as the first AND ultimate abstract artwork: Black Square, a black rectangle ON a white background, hailed as the "zero point of painting," a seminal moment for modern AND abstract practice. In this book, we follow Malevich`s key innovations AND ideas AND place his groundbreaking achievements within the context of both the Russian AND global avant-garde. Through rich illustrations of his work, we explore the artist`s theory of Suprematism, based ON severe geometric abstraction AND "the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art"; his leading role in the development of Constructivism; as well as his interests in philosophy, literature, Russian folk art, AND the fourth dimension.
