Kazimir Malevich was not only one of the key figures of Russian avant-garde, but also one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, his contribution to world art has been studied enough. In this regard, the Society subsidizes Malevich works that enhance understanding of the historical significance of Kazimir Malevich and complement scientific information about his artistic and theoretical heritage and biographies. The Society also supports the translation of works by Malevich and Malevich to other languages and scientific publications about the artist.
Malevich Society provides support to scientists from any country at any stage of their scientific careers.
