Malevich: The Spiritual Geometry of Modernity

By Gerry Souter

Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935) was a painter and a great art theorist, but first and foremost he was the founder of Suprematism, a style seeking pure abstraction based on geometrical forms. "Suprematism," he wrote, "has led me to discover something that had not been understood until then... There is in human consciousness an imperious desire of space and the will to escape from Earth."

This new publication presents the brilliant and original works of Malevich, who had no professional background as a painter before the age of twenty-seven and who learned to draw out of sheer curiosity and his will to learn. Gerry Souter once more offers us his insight into the works of a celebrated artist as well as a new perspective on Malevich's personality.
