I want to thank first of all Matthew Jesse Jackson, whose faith in and enthusiasm for this project never wavered. He gave me with the courage to take on the study of a canonical artist and the broad cultural themes with which I attempt to make sense of him. Matthew’s own work has also inspired me—this includes both his scholarship as well as his interventions that question the forms of academic discourse even as they, I think, maintain faith in the promise of the academy. Robert Bird has been my guide through the Russian nineteenth century and fin de siècle and a careful reader of my work. My conversations with him inform every aspect of the present text, from its most expansive concepts to the smallest details of its translations. Christine Mehring’s counsel from my earliest days in the department has been invaluable. Outside of my committee, I thank the entire faculty and staff of the Department of Art History for their attentiveness and support over the past eight years. My research in Amsterdam and Russia was funded by the University of Chicago Department of Art History and the Division of the Humanities. At the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam I was warmly received by Michiel Nijhoff, who did not hesitate to grant me access to the Khardzhiev-Chaga collection. In Moscow, Andrei Sarabianov encouraged me to pursue my initial suspicions about Russian modernism. I thank the librarians at the Russian State Library (especially those incredibly patient and helpful ones at the Collection of Newspapers in Khimki) and the State Public Historical Library for their aid in navigating their collections. Closer to home, June Farris at the University of Chicago Library helped me obtain microfilms and never hesitated to add books to the collection at my request. viii My time in Moscow was enlivened by the members of the rather pretentiously named Foreign Historians Conference, a weekly meeting for conversation and drinking. When I was most discouraged, this international group of scholars provided the intellectual inspiration and friendship to renew my sense of purpose. I have been fortunate to have fallen in with an extraordinary group of friends and colleagues at the University of Chicago. Their own work has inspired mine, and their support has been invaluable. Michelle Maydanchik and Julia Langbein were my first contacts in the department. They showed me that a graduate department could and should be a community. I am also grateful to Jake Fraser and Hannah Klemm, each of whom has often demonstrated great patience as an audience to my frustrations. I let these names stand for the many, many others who have given me guidance and friendship throughout these years. Nevertheless, I must single out Anastasia Artemyev Berg, for both her friendship, which brings me joy and offers me consolation, and her wisdom, which gives me great hope. This dissertation would not have been possible had my parents not taken me to museums as a child. And they have, to my amazement, never professed a word of doubt in my abilities, even at the lowest points of this long process. I thank them for this unyielding support and their love. ix ABSTRACT Kazimir Malevich and Russian Modernism Daniel Kalman Phillips Although Malevich’s abstract Suprematist

  • Painting the Absolute
    ANDRÉI NAKOV MALEVICH painting the absolute An iconic figure in the history of modern art, the Russian painter Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935) was the creator of Suprematism, best known for his emblematic Black Square (1915). Censored in Russia for many years, his revolutionary writings were only recognised at the end of the twentieth century, initially in Western Europe. Similarly, much of his work remained unknown until the fall of Communism; little studied, the life and work of this painter remain shrouded in an aura of mystery. Andréi Nakov’s monumental study of this prophetic artist is founded on many decades of research in Russia, Western Europe and the US. The author has uncovered many previously unknown documents, and sheds a new light on Malevich’s pivotal role in the development of modern art, offering a radically new interpretation of a • Andréi Nakov and Malevich’s daughter, Anna-Maria Uriman. fascinating artist.

Datasets 16 A. Data curation. Digital scans of landscape paintings were collected from the two major online sources: Wiki Art (WA) (1) 17 and the Web Gallery of Art (WGA) (2). For our purpose, we collected 12,431 landscape paintings by 1,071 artists assigned to 18 61 nationalities from WA, and 3,610 landscape paintings by 816 artists assigned with 20 nationalities from WGA. While the 19 overall number of paintings from WGA is relatively smaller than from WA, the WGA dataset has a larger volume of paintings 20 produced before 1800 CE. Therefore, we utilize both datasets in a complementary way. 21 As same paintings can be included in both datasets, we carefully constructed a unified dataset by filtering out the duplicate 22 paintings from both datasets by using meta-information of paintings (title, painter, completion date, etc.) to construct a unified 23 set of painting images. The filtering process is as follows.

  • Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912
    perished because of a negative and exclusive solution to the question of shading. Our age is obliged by force of circumstances to finish what our predeces- sors passed on to us. The path of search in this direction is broad, its bends are diverse, its forks numerous; the solutions will be many. Among them, those connected in our art with the name of A. Exter will remain as an ex- ample of courage, freedom, and subtlety. The upsurge of strength and courage in the plastic arts wanes neither beyond the Rhine nor at home, and it is expressed in the high level of pure painting unprecedented in our coun- try, a phenomenon that is characteristic of its contemporary state. DAVID BURLIUK Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912 For biography see p. 8. The text of this piece, "Kubizm," is from an anthology of poems, prose pieces, and articles, Poshchechina obshchestvennomu vkusu [A Slap in the Face of Public Taste] (Moscow, December 1912 [according to bibl. R350, p. 17, although January 1913, according to KL], pp. 95-101 [bibl. R275]. The collection was prefaced by the famous declaration of the same name signed by David Burliuk, Velimir Khlebni- kov, Aleksei Kruchenykh, and Vladimir Mayakovsky and dated December 1912. The volume also contained a second essay by David Burliuk on texture [bibl. R269], verse by Khlebnikov and Benedikt Livshits, and four prose sketches by Vasilii Kan- dinsky [for further details see bibl. 133, pp. 45-50]. Both the essay on cubism and the one on texture were signed by N. Burliuk, although it is obvious that both were written by David and not by Nikolai (David's youngest brother and a poet of some merit).

  • Russian Constructivism
    De Stijl in the Netherlands Russian Constructivism 26 Constructivism was an artistic and architectural movement that originated in Russia from 1919 onward which rejected the idea of "art for art's sake" in favour of art as a practice directed towards social purposes and uses. Constructivism as an active force lasted until around 1934, having a great deal of effect on developments in the art of the Weimar Republic (post world war one Germany) and elsewhere, before being replaced by Socialist Realism. Its motifs have sporadically recurred in other art movements since. It had a lasting impact on modern design through some of its members becoming involved with the Bauhaus group. Constructivism had a particularly lasting effect on typography and graphic design. Constructivism art refers to the optimistic, non-representational relief construction, sculpture, kinetics and painting. The artists did not believe in abstract ideas, rather they tried to link art with concrete and tangible ideas. Early modern movements around WWI were idealistic, seeking a new order in art and architecture that dealt with social and economic problems. They wanted to renew the idea that the apex of artwork does not revolve around "fine art", but rather emphasized that the most priceless artwork can often be discovered in the nuances of "practical art" and through portraying man and mechanization into one aesthetic program. Constructivism was first created in Russia in 1913 when the Russian sculptor Vladimir Tatlin, during his journey to Paris, discovered the works of Braque and Picasso. When Tatlin was back in Russia, he began producing sculptured out of assemblages, but he abandoned any reference to precise subjects or themes.
