5.0 out of 5 stars
for all malevich mavericks, May 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Masters of Art: Malevich (Hardcover)
A wonderful monograph detailing the personal life and the works of the artist who gave the world "White on White". Beautiful full-page color plates are paired with opposing page descriptions, making browsing individual works easy. The descriptions and analysis are insisive and accurate, well-grounded in the images and with only an occasional leap beyond the facts. A separate section follows his personal life and artistic development, including a lot of information about the artists with whom he worked. This narrative perhaps does not focus enough on the political atmosphere in which he worked (i.e., not enough historical background) and how it might have affected his art, but I recommend the book for its pictures alone. It was an assigned book for one of my art history classes.
