Kazimir Severinovich Malevich
(Feb. 26,1878 Kiev - May 15,1935 Leningrad) Russian Oil Painting Artist Biography.
Kazimir (Kkasimir) Malevich is one of the pioneers of modern abstract art, Kazimir 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. Malevich was trained at the Kiev School of Art and the Moscow Academy of Fine Arts. In his early work he followed Impressionism as well as Fauvism and after a trip to Paris in 1912, he was influenced by Picasso and Cubism, he led the Russian Cubist movement.
In 1913 Malevich created abstract geometrical patterns in a manner he called Supermatism. From 1919 to 1921 he taught painting in Moscow and Leningrad, where he lived the rest of his life. On a 1926 visit to the Bauhaus, he met Wassily Kandinsky and published a book on his theory under the title Die gegenstandslose Welt (The Non Objective World). The style of severe geometric abstraction with which he is most closely associated, was a leading force in the development of Constructivism, the repercussions of which continued to be felt throughout to this day.
When Soviet politicians decided against modern abstract art, Kazimir Malevich and his art were doomed. He died in poverty and oblivion. 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 developments such as Zero, Hard-Edge and Minimalism oil paintings.
Kazimir Malevich was the first to exhibit paintings composed of abstract geometrical elements. He constantly strove to produce pure, cerebral compositions, repudiating all sensuality and representation in art. His well-known White on White (1918, Museum of Modern Art, New York City) carries his Suprematist theories to their logical conclusion.
