They may attempt to fake the art of Kazimir Malevich because of it's value, but he was much more than his art.
His was a movement, a belief, ideas that promoted great works, terminology, a school and even an opera. All of this under a government where such ideas and art were not embraced, or made illegal.
I recall when I saw an exhibit of his work at the Tate Modern, how floored I was by all of this - such greatness and ambition, from an artist I had no knowledge of before.
His legacy cannot be faked, or will time and fakery-for-profit lead those in the future to question even his existence? Hopefully never.
I once tried to find the grave of Kazimir Malevich using the internet, for surely his greatness would be celebrated and marked. I think it is lost and perhaps under residential buildings or near a tree somewhere. Do the people that pay $86 million for his paintings consider this?
Cheers
- ArtWomb 6y agoI think Malevich gained currency because of his rejection of everything. He's seen as the original liberator from the Art World itself. Today, I think that designation most certainly befits Tokyo's teamLab. A collective of artists and technologists specializing in interactive ephemera.
