Two hundred works of avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich, long banned because they didn’t meet the official idea of art, have gone on display in Moscow’s first show in decades devoted to the artist. The exhibit includes his most famous work, “Black Suprematist Square,” a large black square surrounded by a white border, painted in 1914-15. Like almost 90% of the works, it has been preserved for decades by Soviet curators who could not display it. Malevich died in 1935.
