"Containing over 100 images, great care has been shown in this book to display Malevich`s changing styles from the early Impressionist experiments, through Cubism and Futurism, to the development of the Suprematist movement. With this, the reader is able to see what can not really be put into words. Malevich in particular has often confused art experts with his varied thematic expressions and styles, and this book helps to dispel some of this confusion which was, to some extent, deliberate. Any reader wishing to gain an understanding of the importance of Malevich`s to early 20th century art should pick up this book."
