Kazimir Malevich Art

Kazimir Malevich (1878 - 1935) was born near Kiev, Russia. His parents, Ludwika and Seweryn, were ethnic Poles, and Malevich got his baptism in the Roman Catholic Church. Malevich was the first of 14 children, although only 9 of the children survived into adulthood. His father was a manager of a local sugar factory. His family moved often and he spent most of his childhood amidst sugar-beet plantations in the villages of Ukraine, far from centers of culture. Though peasant art had surrounded him in childhood, until around 1890, he knew nothing of professional artists. Malevich delighted in decorated walls and stoves, and in peasant embroidery. He himself could paint in the peasant style. From 1895 to 1896 he studied drawing in Kiev. And In 1904, he moved to Moscow; that was after the death of his father. He studied at the Moscow School of Architecture, Painting and Sculpture from 1904 to 1910 and in Moscow he studied in the studio of Rerberg Fedor. In 1911 the artist participated in the second exhibition of the Union of Youth (grop Soyuz Molodyozhi) in St. Petersburg, together with Tatlin Vladimir. The group held its third exhibition in 1912, which included works by Tatlin Ekster, Aleksandra, and others. By that time his works were influenced by Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova, Russian avant-garde painters who had particular interest in Russian folk art referred to as lubok. Framed Kazimir Malevich art and his art in general continue to inspire many artists to date. Malevich founded the school of abstract painting style referred to as Suprematist.
