Three more decades passed before it could be accessible to the Russian public. It was gradually assimilated through a series of interpretative filters \u2013 aesthetic, political, cultural and others \u2013 but the extraordinary potential of the artist\u2019s work has been hampered by fantastical elucidations, several of which persist to this day. A number of foundational myths about the artist\u2019s ethnic background (his relationship to his mother tongue), his rapport to the religious culture of his Russian environment and, chiefly, his place in modern European art to which he was deeply attached, are considered here. Our reading of Suprematist forms is still an essential aspect of his art: beyond his numerous writings it shapes a decisive understanding of his artistic message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of this book is to question a certain number of anti-modernist visual and cultural prejudices. Advancing ever further in his interpretation of the artist\u2019s \u0153uvre, Andr\u00e9i Nakov uncovers hidden layers of a creative production that shows itself to be increasingly important to our comprehension of 20th-century modernity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the 2002 Malewicz\u2019s <em>Catalogue raisonn\u00e9<\/em>, <strong>Andr\u00e9i Nakov <\/strong>is the author ofnumerous works on the artist, includinghis monumental four-volume monograph<em> Malevich, Painting the Absolute <\/em>publishedin English in 2010, not to mention a numerof other works written in French and translatedinto English, Russian, Italian and other languages.
