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.
