The Book
Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) was a painter and a great art theorist but first and foremost he was the founder of Suprematism (pure abstraction), a style based on geometrical forms. "Suprematism," he wrote, "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."
This new publication presents the brilliant works of Malevich, the original painter, who until the age of twenty-seven had no professional background as a painter, and who learned to draw out of curiosity and out of his will to learn. Gerry Souter once more offers us the works of a brilliant artist as well as a new perspective on the artist’s personality.
