"Sugar" childhood and the first colors of Malevich
On February 11 (February 23, old style), 1879, Kazimir Severinovich Malevich was born on Bulonskaya Street in the city of Kiev.
The parents of the future artist were immigrants from Poland.
Father Severin Antonovich Malevich (1845-1902) and Ludwig Alexandrovna Malevich (Galinovskaya) were married on February 26, 1878 (old style) in Kiev.
A year later they became parents: they had their first child, who was named Kazimir.
In the future, Severin Antonovich and Ludwig Alexandrovna had 13 more children.
Only nine survived to old age: 4 brothers Kazimir, Mieczyslaw, Bronislaw, Boleslav, Anton and 4 daughters Victoria, Severina, Wanda and Maria.
The father of the future artist worked as a manager at a sugar beet processing plant.
On duty, he often traveled to neighboring villages and took his eldest son with him.
Little Kazimir was happy to go on trips.
He could watch people and nature for a long time, admire the reflection of cows and chickens in puddles.
Impressions of communication with nature will "come to life" on the canvases of the "peasant series".
Kazimir's mother kept house and raised her children.
According to the artist's daughter Una Malevich, Ludwig Alexandrovna was a creative person: she composed poems in Polish, embroidered, knitted, and wove lace.
In his early childhood, Kazimir knew nothing about drawing.
He did not even think about the fact that with the help of a pencil on a piece of paper, you can draw anything you want.
One day Severin Antonovich went to Kiev and took his eldest son with him.
Looking at the unusual shop windows, the inquisitive Kazimir saw a canvas portrait of a girl who was sitting on a bench and peeling potatoes.
The boy was struck by how realistic the potato peel is depicted.
This canvas left an indelible impression in his memory.
Another vivid memory was the moment when Malevich saw a painter painting the roof with green paint.
The boy's inquisitive mind was amazed: before his eyes, the roof became the same color as the trees around.
Gradually, Kazimir began to show a keen interest in drawing.
When he turned 15, his mother gave him a set of paints.
He liked to draw with paints more than with pencils.
In 1890, the family moved to the village of Parkhomovka between Kiev and Kursk.
The father wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and inherit the family profession of a sugar farmer.
Therefore, soon Kazimir became a student of the agronomic school.
After studying for 5 years, in 1894, the future artist received his first specialty.
However, the acquired profession did not please the boy.
Soon he decided to learn how to draw.
