KAZIMIR MALEVICH – OUTLIVING HISTORY

Presented for the first time, after spectacular wanderings from Ukraine to Israel and then to Romania, Kazimir Malevich’s works, dating from 1912–1916, mark the transition from cubo-futurism to the beginnings of Suprematism—the movement founded by Malevich—and reflect the search for a new abstract visual language, which had a profound influence on the evolution of modern art in the 20th century. The exhibition also offers a unique perspective on the influence of Suprematism on the Romanian artistic landscape by presenting a selection of works from the MNAC collection, while also being a memento of the complicated history of this region in the 20th century.
