Russian painter Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935), who created a universe out of flat geometrical forms, is often viewed as a victim of Stalinism whose artistic freedom was silenced by a brutal regime. In this compact survey of his career, Fauchereau (Moscow 1900-1930) argues unpersuasively that the radical painter was not stifled by communism and never toed the official line of socialist realism.
