This study, devoted to the Lithuanian painter M.K. Ciurlionis, who was a student in Warsaw while at the same time an active participant in St. Petersburg Symbolism (close to the group led by V. Ivanov), was published in Paris only in 1966, in the Polish magazine \u201cKultura\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the sixties his first articles on the Polish descendants of Malewicz and their relationship to Suprematism were published in Paris in French.<\/p>\n<p>As a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University (USA), from 1970 onwards he undertook research on Russian Cubo-Futurism, which quickly led him to the writings of Malewicz. Advice from Roman Jakobson provided the initial guidelines in his approach to the subject, which he continued to study after his return to France in the summer of 1971.<\/p>\n<p>An extensive critical anthology of the writings of Malewicz, which he wrote in 1973 and 1974, was published in the spring of 1975 by \u00e9ditions Champ Libre, Paris. The book, Mal\u00e9vitch &#8211; \u00e9crits, met with immediate success and has been reprinted twice since then.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"gca-column one-half first\"><figure id=\"attachment_9517\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9517\" style=\"width: 288px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-s-malevic-scritti-1977.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9517 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-s-malevic-scritti-1977-288x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kazimir S.

This was the first exhibition of Suprematism to be shown in the southern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>During the nineteen seventies he published monographic articles in several languages (in New York, Cologne, Berlin and elsewhere) on several aspects of the work of Malewicz, and in Germany in 1979 he returned to the already \u201chistorical\u201d project of the first major monograph on this artist. The project had been initiated at the end of the fifties by Carl Gutbrot, the famous director of the Dumont-Schauberg publishing house in Cologne, and by Wilhelm Hack, an enlightened collector who was at that time one of the very few people interested in Russian non-objective art in general and the work of Malewicz in particular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9523 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Andr\u00e9i Nakov\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-1024x824.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-768x618.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-1536x1236.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-2048x1649.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Nakov-13-450x362.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Initially, this first monograph was researched by Hans von Riesen, a friend of the artist during the latter&#8217;s stay in Germany in 1927 and the heir to his Berlin archives. After many years of work, Riesen abandoned the project for health reasons and no less in the wake of the difficulties with documentation which he encountered in his work with the USSR, where Malewicz&#8217;s aesthetic was ideologically condemned. Carl Gutbrot subsequently entrusted the project to two Czech art historians, Miroslav Lamac and Jiri Padrta, two highly experienced researchers who had carried out remarkable documentary work in the sixties, and had produced the first analytical studies of the work of Malewicz. It was thanks to Miroslav Lamac in particular that Malewicz&#8217;s graphic work was indexed in photographic form in Russia. This fundamental work was helped by access to the original documents, especially a body of drawings conserved in the artist&#8217;s St. Petersburg studio by his assistant, Anna Leporskaja. This documentation, which today belongs to the A. Nakov archives, was the seminal point of departure for the posthumous study of the work of Malewicz.<\/p>\n<p>The political events of 1968 (crushing of the \u201cPrague Spring\u201d) and the health problems suffered by Jiri Padrta, who was to die in 1978, prevented the monograph from advancing. The project, including the historical documentation accumulated by Hans von Riesen and Miroslav Lamac, was handed over to A. Nakov in 1979, while the publishing work was resumed by PVA in Landau, Federal Republic of Germany. Shortly afterwards the publishers, encouraged by the existence of the photographic documentation from the artist&#8217;s studio, asked A. Nakov to complete the monograph with a critical catalogue of the work, whose popularity was continually increasing in Western Europe. Such a task was feasible, because from the outset of his investigations A. Nakov had himself been working with certain friends (Khardziev) and students of Malewicz (Hidekel, Magaril) and with their heirs (the Judine, Koudriashev, Matiushin, Chashnik and Suetin families), and above all with Anna Leporskaja, Malewicz&#8217;s last assistant and companion of Suetin, who was a historical witness of the highest importance and hence a decisive source of information for the knowledge of the artist&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p>In 1984, the research work was once again hindered by the obstacles raised by the ideological censorship imposed on the study of modern art in the USSR.<\/p>\n<p>It was only from the autumn of 1987 that the changes brought about by the dismantling of the Soviet system (Perestroika) enabled A. Nakov to gain access to the Russian public archives and the museum reserves, in a country where the work of Malewicz had until then been buried in the strictest confinement.<\/p>\n<h2>Le Catalogue raisonn\u00e9<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9453\" style=\"width: 401px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-5\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9453 size-intermediaire\" src=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne-401x450.jpg\" alt=\"Kazimir Malewicz, Catalogue raisonn\u00e9\" width=\"401\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne-401x450.jpg 401w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne-150x168.jpg 150w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne-768x862.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andrei-nakov.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kazimir-malewicz-catalogue-raisonne-912x1024.jpg 912w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kazimir Malewicz, Catalogue raisonn\u00e9, \u00e9ditions Adam Biro, Paris, 2002<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Work on the monograph and the \u201cCatalogue raisonn\u00e9\u201d was to occupy the second half of the nineties.<\/p>\n<p>By this time the project was in the hands of French publishers, several of whom gave up in the face of editorial problems and the mass of multilingual documentation involved in the publication.<\/p>\n<p>The Catalogue raisonn\u00e9, which was in fact the documentary annex to the publication, was the \u00a0first part of the work to be published in June 2002 in Paris by Adam Biro, who in turn abandoned the rest of the project shortly afterwards.
