{"product_id":"9781780233796","title":"Kazimir Malevich : The Climax of Disclosure by David Moos","description":"Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) rose to instant prominence among the Russian avant-garde when, in December 1915, he contributed thirty-nine paintings to an exhibition in Leningrad which were of such a reduced and sophisticated abstract quality that even today they seem to possess a luminous conceptual power. Malevich's sudden and startling realization of a non-objective way of painting - which he termed Suprematism - stands as a seminal moment in the history of 20th-century art.   In Kazimir Malevich: The Climax of Disclosure, now available in a compact pocket format, Rainer Crone and David Moos trace the artist's development from his beginnings in Ukraine and early years in Moscow - where he was closely involved in the Futurist circle - through to the late 1920s and beyond. The authors demonstrate that it is only through a close and sustained reading of Malevich's late - and still widely misunderstood - painterly ouvre that his extraordinarily inventive stance can truly be comprehended. Crone and Moos trace the close relationship between Malevich's practice and other contemporary non-political revolutions in physics, linguistics and poetry. They present Malevich as a uniquely creative artist, embodying in his work many of the insights and discoveries that define the twentieth century and the condition of modern life.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304376906101,"sku":"9781780233796","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781780233796.jpg?v=1762795790","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781780233796","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
