Kazimir Malevich The Climax of Disclosure

Malevich's sudden and startling realization of a non-objective way of painting - which he termed Suprematism - stands as a seminal moment in the history of twentieth-century art.Rainer Crone and David Moos trace the artist's development from his beginnings in the Ukraine and early years in Moscow - where he was closely involved in the Futurist circle - through to the late 1920s and beyond. The authors of this book convincingly demonstrate that it is only through a close and sustained reading of Malevich's late - and still widely misunderstood - painterly "oeuvre" that his extraordinarily inventive stance can truly be comprehended.Crone and Moos trace the close relationship between Malevich's practice and other contemporary non-political revolutions in physics, linguistics and poetry. They present Malevich as a uniquely creative artist, embodying in his work many of the insights and discoveries that define the twentieth century and the condition of modern life.Crone, Rainer is the author of 'Kazimir Malevich The Climax of Disclosure' with ISBN 9780948462818 and ISBN 0948462817.
