GERRY SOUTER: MALEVICH. JOURNEY TO INFINITY [2008].

Description

A monumental study of the life and work of Kazimir Malevich – one of the most important art reformers of the 20th century, creator of suprematism and author of the legendary “Black Square on White Background.” The publication’s author, Gerry Souter, takes the reader through the artist’s fascinating path: from his early fascination with impressionism and cubofuturism to his radical liberation of color and form in pursuit of artistic infinity.

The album contains rich iconographic material, presenting reproductions of works scattered throughout the world’s major museums and rare archival photographs. It is not only a biography of the artist, but above all a profound analysis of the philosophy of art that revolutionized modern thinking about aesthetics. This item is an essential part of the library of every collector of modern art and lover of the avant-garde.

A copy in a luxurious full leather binding from the bindery of the Polish Antiquarian. It was designed and handcrafted from the highest quality natural leather, which, combined with the large-format edition, gives the album the character of a unique collector’s item. The modern line of the binding corresponds with the spirit of Malevich’s work, making this book an outstanding example of contemporary bookbinding craftsmanship.
