Kazimir Malevich - Self Portrait
“Suprematism” derives from the latin term “supremus,” meaning “superior.” Kazimierz Malewicz’s life certainly began in a position of “superiority,” being the eldest of 14 children of whom only eight survived. Through a love of Ukrainian embroidery and folk art, his creative path began from a tender age, and he went on to whet his artistic appetite at the Moscow School of Painting. Surrounded by some of the most talented figures in early 20th century art, he fraternized with Russia’s avant-garde elite; Vladmir Taltin, Sonya Delaunay, Vladim Meller and Aleksander Archipenko. Often referred to as an enigma, Malevich was a revolutionary even during the Russian Revolution; shattering conventional thought and exposing a new experimental understanding of reality - Artsper Magazine.
