Christina Lodder Livres

This collection features sixteen essays by prominent scholars that explore new dimensions of Kazimir Malevich's art and life, shedding light on his pioneering role in abstraction amidst historical and political challenges. The essays cover his early education, the differing receptions of his work in the West and Russia, and his connections to Ukrainian culture. Additionally, they examine the interplay of Suprematism and Constructivism, his literary contributions, and his influence on contemporary Russian artists, providing a comprehensive view of his legacy.

One of the most exciting movements in 20th century art, Russian constructivism radically reassessed the role of the artist and his work. Here, Lodder provides a detailed account of this complex movement and the reverberations it had on Western culture.
