In 1915, he created what is widely lauded as the\u003cstrong\u003e first and ultimate abstract artwork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003eBlack Square\u003c\/em\u003e, a black rectangle on a white background, hailed as the \"zero point of painting,\" a \u003cstrong\u003eseminal moment for modern and abstract practice.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, we follow Malevich's key innovations and ideas and place his groundbreaking achievements within the context of both the \u003cstrong\u003eRussian and global avant-garde\u003c\/strong\u003e.
