Kazimir Severinovich Malevich - artist, graphic artist, teacher, art theorist, philosopher. Malevich's work occupies a special place in the history of world art. The Suprematism he created is not just a geometrically abstract version of non-objectivity, but also a super-style that has had a powerful impact on modern art, architecture and design, and an original philosophy, a kind of “religion without cult.” Malevich developed his own unique method of teaching art and left behind students. He did not serve any political system or any idea other than creativity, and therefore ended his life in poverty and lack of demand. “I am an idealist, and it was completely in vain to criticize the slogan ‘art for art’s sake,’” stated Malevich. The author of the book, St. Petersburg poet, writer and translator Ksenia Buksha, based on documents, memoirs of contemporaries, works of Malevich and criticism of his artistic heritage, analyzes the stages of creativity the artist and recreates the image of an energetic, kind, talented person in everything, communication with whom was fascinating. sign of information products 16+
