Malevich
Uiterlijk 29 november in huis
Kiev-born artist Kazimir Malevich painted Black Square in 1915 and with it established the “zero point of painting,” a seminal moment for modern and abstract practice. A century on from the Russian revolution, Malevich’s groundbreaking pursuit of pure color and geometry remain pivotal influences in the Russian and global avant-garde.
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.
