Let’s learn more about Kazymyr Malevych – one of the key figures in avant-garde art. Ukraine House in Denmark invites you to the lecture “Who Really was the Inventor of the Black Square?” by Tetyana Filevska, Ukrainian cultural manager, curator, art historian, co-founder and director of the Malevych Institute in Kyiv and author of the book “Kazymyr Malevych: Kyiv Period 1928-1930”.

Kazymyr Malevych (1879-1921) was born in Kyiv and lived in Ukraine until he turned 17. Malevych received his first education and created his first artworks in Ukraine. His life has been researched in detail and dozens of books about him are published every year all over the globe. However, there are still lagoons to be filled and mysteries to be solved. Like the one of his birth house in Kyiv, his identity or unknown facts about his work as a professor.
