Kazimir Malevich, a Kiev-born artist, explored different artistic styles before finding his niche in dissolving literal figures and landscapes into pure, emotionally charged abstraction. In 1915, he created Black Square, widely regarded as the first abstract artwork. This book explores Malevich's innovations, ideas, and contributions to the Russian and global avant-garde, highlighting his theory of Suprematism, Constructivism, and interest in philosophy, literature, Russian folk art, and the fourth dimension through rich illustrations of his work.

Kiev-born Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) embarked on a captivating artistic journey, exploring various styles such as Realism, Impressionism, and Symbolism before finding his true calling in the realm of abstract expression. His artistic breakthrough came in 1915 with the creation of Black Square, widely regarded as the first and ultimate abstract masterpiece. This iconic work, consisting of a black rectangle on a white background, is celebrated as the "zero point of painting," a pivotal moment in the evolution of modern and abstract art.

In this comprehensive book, we delve into the life and work of Kazimir Malevich, tracing his significant innovations and ideas. We place his groundbreaking achievements within the rich tapestry of both the Russian and global avant-garde movements. Through a series of captivating illustrations, we explore Malevich's profound theory of Suprematism, which was rooted in rigorous geometric abstraction and the assertion of "the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art."

Furthermore, we examine Malevich's influential role in the development of Constructivism, a movement that sought to merge art and architecture in a harmonious synthesis. We also delve into his interests in philosophy, literature, Russian folk art, and the concept of the fourth dimension, which played a significant role in his artistic vision.

By delving into the life and art of Kazimir Malevich, we gain a deeper understanding of his profound contribution to the world of art and his enduring influence on the artistic landscape. This book serves as a valuable resource for art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone seeking to explore the rich and complex world of abstract expression.
