Kasimir Malevich Teapot and Tea Cup
Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935) was an extremely influential
and important Russian painter and designer. Malevich, together with Piet
Mondrian, the Dutch Neo-Plasticist painter (1872-1944), were true
pioneers of geometric abstract art. Malevich was born near Kiev and
trained at The Kiev School of Art and Moscow Academy of Fine Arts. In
1913 he began to create abstract geometric patterns in a style he called
Suprematism . His work with 3-dimensional models was termed
Constructivism. Unfortunately, he died in poverty and oblivion and
only subsequently was recognized for his contributions to fine art. The
teapot shown below is justifiably famous and reproduced from the original models of 1923.
