Defining nothingness: Kazimir Malevich and religious renaissance.

In the treatise "Suprematism. The World as Objectlessness or Eternal Peace" (1922), Kazimir Malevich positions himself as a "bookless philosopher" who did not consider theories of other philosophers.

      ab: In the treatise "Suprematism. The World as Objectlessness or Eternal Peace" (1922), Kazimir Malevich positions himself as a "bookless philosopher" who did not consider theories of other philosophers. In fact, the treatise contains a large number of references to philosophers belonging to different traditions. A careful reading shows the extent to which Malevich's theory is linked to the Russian religious philosophy of the early twentieth century. In my view, Nikolai Berdyaev, Sergei Bulgakov, Pavel Florensky—philosophers of "Religious Renaissance," as well as some other intellectuals—acquaint avant-gardists with Neoplatonic conceptions of apophasis. Malevich had access to ideas of fourteenth-century theologian Meister Eckhart, and I will refer to two sources to demonstrate this, including Margarita Sabashnikova's translation of Eckhart and works of Sergei Bulgakov. Without any reference, Malevich retells the concepts of Dionysius the Areopagite, Meister Eckhart, and Gregory Palamas. I will demonstrate parallels between the treatise on Suprematism and Meister Eckhart's Sermons concerning the concepts of apophaticism, Platonism, and Nothingness. I will also touch on the theme of Divine Light in the theology of Palamas (fourteenth century) to show the diversity of the avant-garde's sources of inspiration.
