The peak of Malevich's creative career: public activities and solo exhibitions
After the February and October revolutions, Malevich's life changed a lot.
He joined the association of left wing artists.
In the autumn, he was appointed Commissioner for the protection of ancient monuments and a member of the Commission for the Protection of Artistic Values.
The list of his duties even included the protection of the Kremlin's valuables.
In August, he was elected to the post of chairman of the art department in the Moscow Council of Soldiers ' Deputies.
Malevich planned the construction of new museums for the works of avant gardists.
Soon the Museum of Picturesque Culture and the Museum of Artistic Culture, dedicated exclusively to contemporary art, were opened.
At the end of 1918, Malevich began teaching at the State Free Workshops: he headed a workshop for the study of the new art of suprematism.
His works were exhibited at the X State Exhibition.
In 1918, he moved to Petrograd for a while, where he worked on creating costumes and scenery for Vladimir Mayakovsky's play "Mystery Buff".
A year later, he returned to Moscow Soon the world saw his first great work "On new systems in Art".
The first personal exhibition of the artist " Kazimir Malevich.
His path from Impressionism to Suprematism " was held in December 1919.
Despite the fact that the artist gained popularity in art circles, his financial situation was not easy.
His wife was expecting her first child, and the house in which they lived was not heated.
Lazar Lisitsky, a friend of Kazimir Severinovich, suggested that the artist move his whole family to Vitebsk, where the People's Art School had just opened.
In November 1919, Sofya Mikhailovna and Kazimir Severinovich accepted the offer and moved to the provincial Vitebsk.
At the People's Art School, he was allocated a separate workshop, where he gathered his students and taught Suprematism until 1922.
He was a demanding teacher.
In his opinion, every artist has a super task, and in order to achieve it, you need to constantly develop.
Every artist is obliged not only to master the existing types of painting skills, but also to bring something of his own into the art.
Few people were able to meet his strict requirements — Malevich made many enemies.
His ideas found a response among the students.
Already by 1920, Malevich organized the society "UNOVIS" — "Affirmers of new art".
It includes N. Kogan, L. Khidekel, L. Lisitsky, I. Chashnik.
Malevich was so carried away by the idea of suprematism and the activities of "UNOVIS" that he called his daughter Una.
The artist not only actively promoted his ideas and vision of art, but also participated in the life of Vitebsk.
So, for the third anniversary of the October Revolution, he, along with other artists, decorated the city with his drawings.
During these years, the artist practically did not paint pictures, but enthusiastically worked on philosophical and theoretical works: "God is not thrown off.
Art, church, factory", " Suprematism.
Peace as pointlessness or eternal rest" and others.
He often spoke with them at conferences.
Together with his students and members of the "UNOVIS" in the early summer of 1922, Malevich moved to Petrograd In the same year, his paintings were first exhibited at the" First Russian Art Exhibition " in Berlin.
The second solo exhibition of the artist took place in 1923 and was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of his creative activity.
Malevich created sketches of suprematist murals for the Petrograd State Porcelain Factory.
Since 1924, Kazimir Malevich headed the formal theoretical department at the Leningrad State Institute of Art Culture (GINHUK) and took the post of director.
However, already in 1926, the institute was liquidated.
The friendship with Lisitsky brought other fruits: Kazimir Malevich became interested in architecture.
He became a member of the" Association of Modern Architects " (OSA).
In 1925, his three dimensional architectural suprematist models architectons were exhibited at the annual GINHUK reporting exhibition.
In 1925, Sofya Mikhailovna Rafalovich died.
Kazimir Severinovich was left alone with a 5 year old daughter in his arms.
Two years later, Malevich married for the third time with Natalia Andreevna Manchenko (1902-1990), who was 23 years younger than him.
Despite the fact that his work had already become famous in Europe, the artist was just about to leave the USSR for the first time.
