Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Kazimir Malevich
- Only when the habit of one’s consciousness to see in paintings bits of nature, madonnas and shameless nudes… has disappeared, shall we see a pure painting composition.
- Man, as a form, bears within him the eternal principle of being, and by economic movement along his endless path his form is also transformed, just as everything that lives in nature was transformed in him.
- I have established the semaphore of Suprematism. I have beaten the lining of the colored sky, torn it away and in the sack that formed itself, I have put color and knotted it. Swim! The free white sea, infinity, lies before you.
- Painters were also attorneys, happy storytellers of anecdote, psychologists, botanists, zoologists, archaeologists, engineers, but there were no creative painters.
- I tell you, you will not see the new beauty and the truth, until you make up your minds to spit.
- The appearances of natural objects are in themselves meaningless; the essential thing is feeling – in itself and completely independent of the context in which it has been evoked.
- Shouldn’t it give us pause that the oldest works of art are as impressive today in their beauty and spontaneity as they were many thousands of years ago?
- The square is not a subconscious form. It is the creation of intuitive reason. The face of the new art. The square is a living, regal infant. The first step of pure creation in art.
- Everywhere there is craft and technique; everywhere there is artistry and form. Art itself, technique, is ponderous and clumsy, and because of its awkwardness it obstructs that inner element.
- I perceived that the ‘thing’ and the ‘idea’ were taken to be equivalents of feeling, and understood the lie of the world of will and idea. Is the milk bottle the symbol of milk?
Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935) was a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist who played a pivotal role in the development of abstract art in the early 20th century. Born in Kiev, Malevich studied at various art schools in Ukraine and Moscow before settling in Saint Petersburg, where he became involved with the Russian Futurist movement.
In 1915, Malevich created his most famous work, “Black Square,” which consisted of a black square painted on a white canvas. This marked the birth of Suprematism, a new art movement that Malevich founded, which emphasized the use of geometric shapes and pure color.
Malevich continued to experiment with abstract art, creating works such as “White on White” and “Black Circle,” which were meant to evoke a sense of pure feeling and transcendence. He also wrote extensively on art theory and was a leading figure in the Russian avant-garde.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Malevich was appointed as the director of the Institute of Artistic Culture in Petrograd (formerly Saint Petersburg), where he worked to promote and develop avant-garde art. However, his artistic and political views eventually fell out of favor with the Soviet authorities, and he was forced to abandon his avant-garde work in the 1930s.
Malevich died in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) in 1935, but his legacy as a pioneer of abstract art and a visionary art theorist has continued to influence artists around the world.
