Celebrating Suprematism throws vital new light on Kazimir Malevichs abstract style and the philosophical, scientific, aesthetic, and ideological context within which it emerged and developed. The essays in the collection, which have been produced by established specialists as well as new scholars in the field, tackle a wide range of issues and establish a profound and nuanced appreciation of Suprematisms place in twentieth-century visual and intellectual culture. Complementing detailed analyses of The Black Square (1915), Malevichs theories and statements, various developments at Unovis, Suprematisms relationship to ether physics, and the impact that Malevichs style had on the design of textiles, porcelain and architecture, there are also discussions of Suprematisms relationship to Russian Constructivism and avant-garde groups in Poland and Hungary.
