Seller: Strand Book Store, ABAA, New York, NY, U.S.A.
Oversized Hardcover. Condition: Good. Against the background of Russian progressive cultural and scientific movements, this volume traces the close relationship between Malevich's writings and work and other contemporary nonpolitical revolutions: relativity and quantum theory; Roman Jakobson and the 'Prague School' in linguistics. The authors draw analogies between vanguard structuralist poetry and Malevich's postcubist works. A close reading of Malevich's later figurative paintings solidifies the geniusof his extraordinarily inventive stance. Situating Malevich in terms of an all-pervasive modernist subjectivity, this work transmits the artist's thinking as well as his work. 230p. Seller Inventory # 830672

Seller: Mullen Books, ABAA, Marietta, PA, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: New. Black cloth with white spine lettering, black glossy color illustrated dustjacket. viii, 230 pp., 155 illustrations, including 50 in color. Kasimir Malevich's (1878-1935) sudden and startling realization of a nonrepresentational way of painting, which he called Suprematism, stands as a seminal moment in twentieth-century art. Rainer Crone and David Moos trace the artist's development from his beginnings in the Ukraine to his involvement with Futurist circles in Moscow through to the late 1920s and beyond. They convincingly demonstrate that Malevich's late representational painting, still widely misunderstood, solidifies his extraordinarily inventive stance. Against the historical background of distinctly Russian progressive cultural and scientific movements, the authors define affinities between Malevich's work and other nonpolitical revolutions: relativity and quantum theory in physics the work of Roman Jakobson and the "Prague School" in linguistics and the exploration of language in the writings of the poet Velimir Khlebnikov. They situate the artist within the fundamental epistemological shift from nineteenth-century objectivity to an all-pervasive modernist subjectivity, relying upon Malevich's contribution to illustrate the ways cultural production is mediated through various modes of transmission. Rainer Crone holds the Chair for Twentieth Century Art at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitä ;t, Munich, and is adjunct professor of art history at Columbia University. David Moos is a doctoral candidate in art history at Columbia University. Contents as follows: Introduction: This book . and the end of experience -- 1. The question of information -- 2.
