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.

Malevich’s Black Square heralded the triumph of non-objectivity, when there was nothing left to destroy in the figurative form and the object lost its materiality. This canvas, shown at the "Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0.10" in Petrograd in December 1915, embodied its creator’s conception of “the zero of form", the beginning and the end of everything. The artist repeated the famous composition, which undoubtedly became an icon of 20th century painting. The Hermitage has a version dated ca. 1930, it was formerly kept in the collection of the Malevich family.

The drawings and watercolors published in this Russian Museum catalogue come from a 2017 gift to the museum - an archive of over 100 graphic works by Kasimir Malevich that were preserved by Anna Leporskaya, a student of Malevich in the 1920s at Ginkhuk (State Institute of Artistic Culture). Leporskaya and Nikolai Suetin, who together with Leporskaya studied with Malevich, were instrumental in preserving the archive after Malevich's arrest in 1930 - they apparently saved them from being burnt by fearful colleagues. After Leporskaya's death, the work were held by her foster daughter Nina Suetina, and her bequest allotted them to the Russian Museum. The works dazzle by their variety: done at various moments during Malevich's entire life as an artist from the early 1900s to the 1930s, they include portraits of family members n more or less realistic style, works in a symbolist vein, caricatures done in student years, suprematist sketches, post suprematist plans for unrealized murals. The second part of the catalogue publishes writings by Malevich that were also part of the Leporskaya/Suetina archive.

После заигрывания с реализмом, импрессионизмом и символизмом киевлянин Казимир Малевич (1878–1935) нашел свое призвание в растворении буквальных, репрезентативных фигур и пейзажей в чистой эмоционально заряженной абстракции. В 1915 году он создал то, что широко первое и окончательное абстрактное произведение: Черный квадрат, черный прямоугольник на белом фоне, провозглашенный «нулевой точкой живописи», поворотным моментом для современной и абстрактной практики.В этой книге мы следим за ключевыми инновациями и идеями Малевича и помещаем его новаторские достижения в контекст как русского, так и мирового авангарда. Через богатые иллюстрации его работ мы исследуем теорию художника о супрематизме, основанную на строгой геометрической абстракции и «господстве чистого чувства в творчестве»»; его ведущая роль в развитии конструктивизма; а также его интерес к философии, литературе, русскому народному творчеству и четвертому измерению.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.
