"Rethinking Malevich" is an English-language collection of sixteen
innovative essays by leading international scholars that document
new and intriguing aspects of Kazimir Malevich's art and biography.
This latest research on the Russian modern artist appears after
more than seventy years of political and cultural difficulties -
including the East-West bifurcation of his artistic and written
legacy - that impeded the study and understanding of his work. For
the first time, the greater portion of Malevich's work and writings
was available for the scholarly research and study undertaken here.
The result is a wealth of new details about this pioneer of
abstraction, including: explorations of his early art education;
the differences in the reception of his abstract art by Western and
Russian audiences; the appearance of his work in 1936 at the Museum
of Modern Art; the artist's special relationship with Ukraine. The
development of his art is considered alongside that of Vasily
Kandinsky and Giorgio De Chirico, and his philosophy is examined in
comparison with the ideas of Nikolai Fedorov and Ortega-y-Gasset.
The history of Russian and Soviet art in the 1920s and 1930s is
intricately interwoven with the revolutionary social changes taking
place throughout the country. Here are details of the political
maneuverings Malevich went through in Russia to protect his art and
his friends, and his reaction to Lenin's death in 1924 and the
subsequent growth of the "Lenin myth." Rethinking Malevich reveals
the complex early interweaving of Suprematism and Constructivism,
considers little-researched aspects of the artist's
Post-Suprematist period, and the history of Malevich's literary
legacy. Not least, it demonstrates the various ways in which
Malevich's art continues to stimulate the highly unusual work of
contemporary Russian artists.
Excavations in 2002 by Pre-Construct Archaeology on two adjacent
sites in Shadwell revealed an extensive late Romano-British
settlement over a kilometre beyond the walls of Londinium on an
escarpment overlooking the north bank of the Thames. The area's
importance became apparent in the 1970s through the discovery of
monumental masonry and 3rd-century settlement and burial practice.
This volume presents the evidence for Roman Shadwell as revealed by
these excavations and considers its place within the broader
context of Londinium and its hinterland.
