Описание Kazimir Malevich

After flirtations with Realism, Impressionism, and Symbolism, Kiev-born Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) found his metier 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.
