Malevich

Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935) was a painter and a great art theorist, but first and foremost he was the founder of Suprematism, a style seeking pure abstraction based on geometrical forms. &quote;Suprematism,&quote; he wrote, &quote;has led me to discover something that had not been understood until then... There is in human consciousness an imperious desire of space and the will to escape from Earth.&quote;This new publication presents the brilliant and original works of Malevich, who had no professional background as a painter before the age of twenty-seven and who learned to draw out of sheer curiosity and his will to learn. Gerry Souter once more offers us his insight into the works of a celebrated artist as well as a new perspective on Malevich's personality.
