• Description

  Malewicz: Beyond Censorship Kazimir Malewicz (Malevich; 1879–1935) is undoubtedly one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, famed for his Suprematist works such as the so-called “Black Square” and White on White. In this critical study, Andrei Nakov dissembles some foundational myths about the artist’s ethnic background, such as his Polish origins (hence the rendering of the artist’s name here as “Malewicz”), his affinity for the religious iconography of Russia and his place in modern European art. The artist’s concept of Suprematist forms is central to Nakov’s study, which interrogates certain anti-modernist visual and cultural prejudices.
