The ‘Iconic’ in Russian art: Russian Icons & Russian Avant-Garde Art

Tue, Mar 01

|

Online Webinar

When Malevich’s ‘iconic’ Black Square was produced in 1915, no one had ever seen anything like it before. And yet it does have precedents. This talk will explore the resonances between Malevich’s Black Square and its precursors, showing how a quasi-genealogical thread binds them together.

About the Event

Serie of three talks delivered by .Andrew Spira

The ‘Iconic’ in Russian art

Andrew is back to look at the notion of ‘iconicity’ in Russian art. The first talk addressed the role of sacred icons in Russia, exploring their roots in Byzantium and the ways they were adapted to a Russian cultural milieu. The second talk focussed on the ways that icons developed in response to influence from western European art, and how the subsequent revival of interest in traditional icons precipitated the development of modern art in Russia. The third talk will focus on a single work - Kasimir Malevich’s  of 1915 - and will examine how the layers of meaning and resonance that underpin it make it one of the most works of art ever made.Black Squareiconic
