An exhibition "Kazimir Malevich: Not only the" Black Square" will open in the pavilion "Worker and Collective Farm Girl"

Kazimir Malevich's little-known works will be shown at the Kazimir Malevich exhibition, not only the Black Square in the pavilion Worker and Collective Farm Woman in November 2017.

"At the exhibition will be presented little-known to the general public heliogravures from the" Jubilee album of the Moscow Art Theater ", over which the artist worked in early 1910, and" patriotic lubok "- lithographed posters and postcards created by Malevich at the beginning of the First World War (texts for lubkam composed Vladimir Mayakovsky), "- said in a press release to the exhibition.

The exhibition will show picturesque and graphic works that represent all stages of the artist's work - from the early works of the 1900s, futuristic paintings of the 1910s and Suprematist compositions to portraits of the early 1930s, when Malevich returned to figurative art after suprematism. The exhibition core of the exhibition will consist of works from the collections of Russian regional museums.

One of the plots of the exhibition will be Malevich's work on the design of the futuristic opera by Mikhail Matyushin and Alexei Kruchenykh "Victory over the Sun". Viewers will be able to see the sketches and costumes created by the artist for the opera. The Suprematist period is represented by non-objective compositions selected by Malevich for display at the "Last Futuristic Exhibition of Paintings" 0.10 ".

The organizers also specified that the exhibition will last from November 24, 2017 until February 25, 2018. The project aims to "demonstrate different facets of the great master's creativity, including those that do not quite fit into the spectator's notions of the personality and achievements of one of the iconic artists of the last century."

The "black square" of Malevich, becoming a generally recognized icon of the twentieth century, partly obscured other aspects of the heritage of the Russian avant-garde. Meanwhile, the great artist worked in full power during the three-to-ten-year period of his creative career: Kazimir Malevich acted as if an entire detachment of creators who managed to say the first and often the defining word in many spheres of artistic culture, - said curator of the exhibition, one of the leading researchers of the Russian avant-garde, doctor of art criticism Alexander Shatskikh.
