...post-Soviet capitalist experiment, when the ascendant oligarchs feasted on the spoils of the old regime, Vladimir Vinogradov sat atop one of Russia's fattest banks and boasted of a burgeoning art collection-the prized jewel of which was a painting by the genius of the Suprematist movement, Kazimir Malevich...
...then, within a few short decades, these titans proved wholly ephemeral. Their achievement was wiped out by a couple of dozen scrags with names like Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, Malevich, Beckmann, Rauschenberg, mouthing their bizarre and (at first) peculiar and unpopular visual dialects. Over their bones rose a new edifice of taste enforcement, even more coercive than the old--the transnational bureaucracy of late modernism, staffed by as pompous a set of dullards as ever infested the shorter corridors of cultural power in 1900, all bombing on about their radical credentials.

Rozanova's suprematist paintings lack any semblance to the naturalistic scenes of her earlier works. Her textile designs and simple shapes recall Malevich's abstract geometrical configurations and her planes of overlapping color bring to mind the paintings of Sonia Delaunay...
