  Art/Museums: Kazimir Malevich Suprematism at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Menil Collection, Houston   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) was the foremost Suprematist and the "Kazimir Malevich: Suprematism" exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York is stunning.
Malevich's finest "non-objective" works were mostly executed during World War I, a decade or so after Vasily Kandinsky had ignited the fires of abstraction with his wild and rapturous geometric flourishes.
Malevich was given a retrospective exhibition in 1978 at the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris and ten years later an even large show was held at the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad).

Malevich's painting is less mathematically regular than Gris' work, and the surface shapes built up, that of a person's face, and far more irregular and complex that Gris' bottles and glasses.
Malevich uses an opposite effect: the biggest column is toward the left hand side, with the smaller columns nestled in its right hand corner angle.
The shading of the color resembles Malevich too: neither the white nor the green is uniform throughout, but they undergo a series of color modifications throughout their regions, apparently due to the thickness of the paint.

Kasimir Malevich is considered one of the seminal figures of non-objective art in the 20th century.
Malevich was like Mondrian and Kandinsky in that he attempted to create an artistic utopia that became the secular equvalent of religious painting - in this case, intending to replace the ubiquitous icon in the Russian home.
Gradually Malevich's vocabulary evolved to include other forms in simple opposition, and it is here that drawing also became an important medium in his expanding formulation of Suprematism.

 BOOKFORUM | winter 2003
The facts are well known: Malevich constantly meddled with dates, starting with the birth of Suprematism, which he always insisted, contrary to all evidence, on placing at 1913 (Suprematist paintings were first publicly presented in Petrograd at the historical exhibition "0,10" in December 1915).
Since then, Malevich's constant, deliberate affront to the rationality of geometry has become a staple of the Malevich literature (to the point that when a drawing is too neatly geometric, it is enough for Nakov, in his catalogue raisonné, to discard it as produced by one of his pupils, Lissitzky, for example).
To state it briefly, Malevich's conception of cinema rests on a kind of pictorial imperialism that was rather common among the pioneers of abstract art (one finds the same mechanism at work in Mondrian's apology for planarity in architecture or sculpture).

 THE ART WORLD: Kazimir Malevich and Ukraine (04/11/04)
Malevich was not only one of the principal abstract painters to emerge in the early 20th century, but by taking abstraction to its pure, non-representational end, he irreversably changed the course of modern art.
In 1913, as Malevich was turning more decisively toward abstract art and shedding all illusionistic devices cultivated by academic painters, he collaborated with fellow avant-garde artists and poets on a performative project in Petrograd, a Futurist opera whose central theme was to capture and imprison the sun.
Indeed, Malevich's somewhat tentative handling of faceless, hieratic figures, with unnaturally exaggerated limbs and provocative hand gestures would seem to confirm that the artist was vascillating between a kind of proletarian literalness and iconic transcendence, wavering perhaps in his conviction about the avant-garde.

Malevich described his aesthetic theory, known as Suprematism, as "the supremacy of pure feeling or perception in the pictorial arts." He viewed the Russian Revolution as having paved the way for a new society in which materialism would eventually lead to spiritual freedom.
This austere painting counts among the most radical paintings of its day, yet it is not impersonal; the trace of the artist's hand is visible in the texture of the paint and the subtle variations of white.
Malevich was fascinated with technology, and particularly with the airplane, instrument of the human yearning to break the bounds of earth.

Malevich was a Russian painter and designer who was born near Kiev in 1878.

Although Malevich opposed the war, he was caught up in the Russian war drives and could not resist government demands for war propaganda.

 Kazimir Malevich - Beyond Figuration Beyond Abstraction at the Corso in Rome, Italy - A Review by Donald Goddard
In 1930, Kazimir Malevich was arrested by the United State Political Agency and held for questioning at the Department of Preliminary Imprisonment Before Trial in Leningrad on a charge of espionage during his 1927 trip to Poland and Germany.
I’m not sure what this means, except that the anger and desperation Malevich expresses in his inscription might refer equally to the condition of the peasantry before the Revolution and during the collectivization, or to Malevich’s frustration about expressing what he means in abstract terms.
It was not until later in his career that Malevich recognized the motif’s origin in the opera, where it signifies the pure, nonobjective future, replacing the rational world of the sun under which humankind, and art, had been fated to live before that.
