Describing Black Square not as a self-contained form in space but as the rendering of a movie screen or a film frame, Tupitsyn minimizes its objecthood, while at the same time augmenting the link between “non-objective art” (as Malevich called Suprematism) and the everyday world. Tupitsyn writes to counter two principal arguments: first, a notion that Black Square, if it anticipates Constructivism at all, does so through its status as an object in real space and second, that Malevich was a mystical thinker adamantly opposed to celebrations of the material world. Tupitsyn gives our understanding of Suprematism a new angle by interpreting Black Square as a screen, onto which she projects an encounter between painting and cinema that continues, as Tupitsyn claims, in art production throughout the twentieth century and to the present day. Itself an image of stasis, Black Square nevertheless anchors a worldview, Suprematism, which Malevich coined to name a summa in dynamic movement. The critical attention bestowed upon this bold and fundamental statement, meanwhile, has far surpassed even the artist’s own estimation. Kasimir Malevich (1878–1935) placed great importance on this work-a quadrangle of black paint set on a ground of white, forming a composition eighty centimeters square-and he remade it in varying formats and materials several times thereafter.

Malevich and Film tells anew the story of the Russian painter’s iconic work, Black Square, first conceived as a backdrop for the Futurist opera Victory over the Sun in 1913, and provocatively installed at the conjunction of two walls and the ceiling in the exhibition 0.10 in St. Margarita Tupitsyn’s book, Malevich and Film, and the accompanying exhibition set forth an ambitious, revisionist narrative.
