But perhaps that was Malevich's very point. Malevich saw himself as revolutionary, modern, avant-garde and looking to the future. Malevich saw Chagall as backward looking. <br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-12081574782277659812014-11-23T20:46:55.960+11:002014-11-23T20:46:55.960+11:00I'd not heard of Malevich before.

I feel something when I regard a Chagall. <br />Having looked at several Malevich works since your post I find them jarring, but then they are quite different in style.

I wish _I_ had noticed that.<br /><br />I have no idea if they ever met each other, but their abstract shapes were not totally dissimilar, were they? Perhaps their differing ideologies meant that Malevich’s geometry was powerful while Klee's was much less so.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-10656812360444860562014-11-17T04:47:02.127+11:002014-11-17T04:47:02.127+11:00The second painting by Malevich reminds me a littl...The second painting by Malevich reminds me a little of Paul Klee works - is there a connection in time?Leon Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609891995057827081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-55865104355031898902014-11-16T18:22:49.569+11:002014-11-16T18:22:49.569+11:00Excellent.

I note that two rooms were filled with Malevich's Suprematist works. <br /><br />But if Black Square was one of the defining works of Modernism, revealed to the world after months of secrecy, why was it hidden again for almost half a century after its creator’s death?

This exhibition, his first retrospective in thirty years and the first ever in the UK, united works from collections in Russia and elsewhere to tell of revolutionary ideals.<br /><br />The book, edited by Achim Borchardt-Hume, Head of Exhibitions at Tate Modern, is still available.<br /><br />Tate Modernhttp://shop.tate.org.uk/malevich/kazimir-malevich/invt/15445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-28260547396865041182014-11-16T03:25:52.510+11:002014-11-16T03:25:52.510+11:00Joe

People took note of Malevich's manifesto, published at the same time as the 1915 exhibition, "Cubism and Futurism to Suprematism in Art".<br /><br />But he gave up Suprematism in the 1920 and his influence faded. I think you might be right... everyone still knows Chagall but who knows Malevich these days?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-74573864677032719992014-11-15T12:03:52.181+11:002014-11-15T12:03:52.181+11:00Who is better known and loved now, Chagall or Male...Who is better known and loved now, Chagall or Malevich?
