The English-language edition of Kazimir Malevich’s autobiographical texts (previously published in “Malevich. Autobiographic notes 1918–1933”), edited by Peter Doroshenko, director of The Ukrainian Museum, New York, with his foreword, as well as an afterword and comments by Tetyana Filevska, the co-founder of the Malevich Institute, offers a new perspective on Malevich’s legacy through the lens of decolonization, emphasizing the importance of his early experiences and how Ukrainian cultural milieu shaped his aesthetic sensibilities and philosophical outlook. This, according to the researchers, allows not only to better understand Malevich himself, but also to enrich our understanding of Ukrainian identity in the 20th century and to reveal a more complex picture of artistic development in Ukraine.
