Malevich. Artworks and life of

A natural born leader, always penniless and provocative, a world-famous celebrity, a talented liar and a real street fighter, oddly enough, all this is about a single person. A name to him is Kazimir Severinovich Malevich.

New app from Arthive "Malevich" gives an up-close look at Malevich as the artist, art theorist, philosopher, innovator, and the man, woven from contradictions. The app includes:

- Biography, facts & legends about his life, death and work;

- Quotes by his fans & critics;

- Stories about the objects designed by the artist;

- A short glossary of Malevich;

- Theoretical aspects of Suprematism;

- Malevich in numbers: the first fee, the last Square, how many times he failed the art school entrance exams, how many days he spent in the Crosses prison;

- Almost 400 reproductions of his artworks with brief description, detailed editorial annotations to 11 of his most important paintings;

- Filters to sort the pictures by style, genre or subject;

- Large thematic collections (squares, circles, crosses, faceless paintings etc.);
