Биография автора
Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935) was a pioneering Russian avant-garde artist, and the founder of Suprematism, a movement focused on basic geometric forms and pure abstraction. His oil on linen canvas Black Square (1915) became a revolutionary icon of the art of the 20th century. His most influential theoretical work, The World as Non-Objectivity, was written in 1926 and published in Munich. In this text, Malevich outlined the philosophical underpinnings of Suprematism, advocating for the supremacy of pure artistic feeling over representational forms. Throughout the 1920s, he wrote extensively about the intersection of art, science, and technology, envisioning a new visual language inspired by aerial perspectives and experimental film. His theoretical writings reveal a deep engagement with questions of perception, form, and the role of art in a rapidly changing world.
