Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

In 1915, Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) changed the future of Modern art when his experiments in painting led the Russian avant-garde into pure abstraction. He called his innovation Suprematism--an art of pure geometric form meant to be universally comprehensible regardless of cultural or ethnic origin. His Suprematist masterpiece, White Square on White (1920-27) continues to inspire artists throughout the world.

Accompanying the first exhibition to focus exclusively on this defining moment in Malevich's career, Kazimir Malevich: Suprematism features nearly 120 paintings, drawings, and objects, among them several recently rediscovered masterworks. In addition, the book includes previously unpublished letters, essays, and diaries, along with contributions by international scholars who shed new light on this popular figure and his devotion to the spiritual in art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable Malevitch, April 21 2007

This review is from: Kazimir Malevich (Hardcover)
The best available publication on Malevitch in English, this book is the catalogue for a recent exhibition held at the Guggenheim Museum in NY. It is not a complete survey, since it concentrates on one period, Suprematism, which roughly corresponds to the late 1910s and early 1920s, but it is a thorough study of some of the artist's most important works. Some rarely seen paintings drawn from the holdings of Russian museums are beautifully illustrated and explained. A must-have if you can still find a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Malevich the master, Jun 5 2009
By James A. Woronow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kazimir Malevich (Hardcover)
Hidden in the turn of the century turmiol of Russia was a man and philosophy that changed art. Though Kandinsky is known to most Westerners do to his Bauhus and post-war exile, Kazimir was one of the prime founders of pure abstraction. The book has many essays that expound his philosophy in a much more coherent way then Kandinsky's famous books. I must read for the non-objective artist or those who ponder, 'what does that mean?'.
