Jean-Claude Marcadet published in 1990 the first monograph ever on Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935), founder of Suprematism, the most radical abstraction of the 20th century. This edition, based on 1990 publication, completes and updates the latter in the light of Malevich studies released since 25 years. Meanwhile, thanks to the fall of USSR in 1991, the archives and the very rich stored collections were opened not only in Moscow and Saint Petersburg museums but also in more than twenty other museums of the Russian Federation.
One of the major additions in this book is to reveal the importance of the Ukrainian component in Malevich's human and artistic personality, through nature, daily life, colour range, friendships, hyperbolism or humour in writing.
Enriched by an unpublished biographical text, the monograph includes, in annex, essays studying Malevich relationships with Natalia Goncharova and Larionov, with Picasso, Mondrian, Chagall, and an essay on the utopian and visionary aspect of his theoretical and pictorial approach.
