Black Square: Malevich and the Origin of Suprematism Details
Review "Black Square offers a productive critique of the artist’s numerous attempts to rewrite his biography and the history of Suprematism. One of the book’s most substantial contributions is its continuation of efforts by Charlotte Douglas, Andrei Nakov, and others to move away from Malevich’s intentionally inaccurate dating of his own works. . .Black Square also succeeds in its efforts to overturn traditional narratives about Malevich’s Suprematist period, as well as in its attempts to create new ones."—Jason Strudler, Vanderbilt University (Jason Strudler Slavic and East European Journal 2015-04-01) Read more About the Author Aleksandra Shatskikh is an art historian and a world authority on the Russian avant-garde.
