Suprematism. The World as Non-Objectivity, or Eternal Rest

“Suprematism. The World as Non-Objectivity, or Eternal Rest” is the main philosophical treatise by Kazimir Malevich. This work allows one to fully appreciate the paradoxical nature and uniqueness of Malevich-the-thinker. By fixing his insights in words, Malevich didn’t need any intermediaries; his path was the path of a philosopher-mystic, relying on his own inner experience, unable either to research or to interpret other people’s ideas, thoughts, and texts, and not subject to a priori assumptions in the perception of the world. Malevich absolutized his truth of searching for the way to move from the finite (object) world to the irrational, incomprehensible “liberated Nothing.”

Kazimir Severinovich Malevich was a Russian and Soviet avant-garde artist, pedagogue, art theorist, and philosopher. Founder of Suprematism—one of the earliest manifestations of abstract art of the modern era.
