Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935) was a pioneer of abstract art and a founder of the avant-garde Suprematist movement in Russia. His painting, Black Square, was the quintessence of his Suprematist project and an outstanding breakthrough in the history of modern art, anticipating the development of geometrical abstraction in the West in the 20th century. In this lecture, Dr. Shatskikh speaks about the significance of this single painting, and sheds new light on Malevich, his legacy and influence, and the genesis of the Suprematist movement.

Before the "Black Square" (1915) Kazimir Malevich designed the perfume bottle for eau de cologne "Severny" which was produced since 1911 until mid-1990's in Russia. Additional information is on the website 43info.com or go to direct link: www.43info.com/kazimir_malevich_bottle_cologne_severny

The Black Square intersects with the "history of Jewish People?"
With a bit of imaginative thinking, I'm sure it does.
