Kazimir Malevich
1878-1935
Russian painter, printmaker, decorative artist and writer of Ukranian birth. One of the pioneers of abstract art, Malevich was a central figure in a succession of avant-garde movements during the period of the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917 and immediately after. The style of severe geometric abstraction with which he is most closely associated, SUPREMATISM, was a leading force in the development of CONSTRUCTIVISM, the repercussions of which continued to be felt throughout the 20th century. His work was suppressed in Soviet Russia in the 1930s and remained little known during the following two decades. The reassessment of his reputation in the West from the mid-1950s was matched by the renewed influence of his work on the paintings of Ad Reinhardt and on developments Related Paintings of Kazimir Malevich :. | unemployed girl | suprematism | suprematist painting | Suprematism | taking in the rye | Related Artists: Henry F Darby1820-1897 Jacek Mierzejewskipainted Polonia in 1915 MASTER of the Aix-en-Chapel AltarpieceFrench painter (active between 1480-1520)
