This Futurist opera was presented in snowy Petrograd in December
1913 to a riotous audience. The atonal music composed by Mikhail
Matiushin accompanied the alogical libretto by Aleksei Kruchenykh,
the action taking place in the 10th Land where "the windows of
houses all face inside" and "all the paths go up to the earth",
while the hands of a clock "both go backwards immediately before
dinner". The cardboard costumes by Kazimir Malevich were surfaces
lit by his roving coloured spotlights, the characters bigger than
life. This first English translation by Dr. Evgeny Steiner is
accompanied by the Russian facsimile, followed by what is known of
the musical score by Mikhail Matiushin, and a selection of
Malevich's Cubist costume designs. Contemporary documents, from
statements by the artists and photographs, to press reviews
complete the contents of Vol. 1. Vol. 2 is a collection of
scholarly essays on the Russian Futurist arts of language, music
and performance, with Kruchenykh's own contribution to the "New
Ways of the Word" first published in 1913. Together, this two
volume collection of Victory Over the Sun presents Russian Futurism
in all its guises. It is a tool for study, while it invites
recreations of it today by theatre groups and those interested in
the arts of language.
Kasimir Malevich's treatise on Suprematism was included in the
Bauhausbucher series in 1927, as was Piet Mondrian's reflections on
Russian Constructivism in 1925 (New Design, Bauhausbucher 5). Like
Mondrian, who was never an official member of the Bauhaus, Malevich
nevertheless had a close connection to the ideas of the school in
terms of content. This volume 11 laid the foundation for the
Russian avant-garde artist's late work: to wrest the mask of life
from the true face of art.
