Kazimir Malevich: The Climax of Disclosure

Kazimir Malevich's sudden and startling realization of a non--objective way of painting -- he termed it Suprematism -- stands as a seminal moment in the history of 20th-century art. Tracing the artist's development from his early years in the Ukraine and in Moscow, through the 1930s, against the background of the cultural and scientific revolutions of his day, the authors offer new insights into Malevich's creative process and the extraordinary inventiveness of his late work.
