Kazimir Malevich is often introduced through a few paintings, especially Black Square. His work on paper tells another part of the story. He made lithographs, supplied images for experimental books and used print to circulate Suprematist ideas beyond a single canvas. An original print has its own material, date and edition history. A modern poster reproducing a painting is a different kind of object. The difference matters especially on a page called “Malevich prints.” [1], [2]

MoMA's Sarah Suzuki writes that Malevich made more than eighty editioned works between 1913 and 1930, many intended for books and chiefly using lithography. That estimate gives the scale of the activity; the selected museum examples here are a route into it, not a complete catalogue. A title may name a composition reproduced in several impressions, while each museum catalogues the particular sheet it owns. [1]

Watch: Kazimir Malevich

Three short films place Black Square, the 1915 exhibition and Malevich’s later work in context.

What counts as an original Malevich print?

In a lithograph, an image is prepared for transfer onto paper through a printing process. An edition can yield multiple physical impressions of the same composition. Their paper, colour, condition and collection histories may differ. A museum record therefore describes both an image and a specific surviving object. The same is true when an illustration appears within a printed book: its page and the complete volume are related, but neither is an oil painting. [2], [3], [4]

“Print” is also a retail word for a new reproduction of a painting. That use is familiar and legitimate, but it says nothing about whether Malevich personally made a printing matrix. A high-resolution image of Red Square can produce a fine modern reproduction; the original work remains a 1915 painting in the Russian Museum. The links to reproductions of paintings are kept below, with this distinction made explicit. [17]

Russian Futurist lithographs, 1913–14

MoMA catalogues Simultaneous Death in an Airplane and at the Railway as a lithograph of about 1913, accession 6.1974. Its compressed, startling title belongs to the Futurist world in which movement, disjunction and unexpected combinations challenged the stable scene. The small sheet, approximately 11.2 by 17.7 centimetres, asks for close looking rather than the across-the-room experience of a large painting. A print can bring an experiment in form into a reader's hand. [2]

Kunstmuseum Basel catalogues a separate, hand-coloured lithograph under the corresponding German title Der Tod eines Menschen, gleichzeitig im Flugzeug und der Eisenbahn, accession 1968.414, circa 1913. Its recorded size is 11.7 × 17.5 centimetres. The related title and close scale invite comparison with MoMA 6.1974, but the Basel record describes its own watercoloured physical sheet, inscription and acquisition history. The Basel collection also holds Gebet II (Prayer II), another hand-coloured lithograph of circa 1913, accession 1968.413, measuring 17.5 × 11.7 centimetres. These two Basel accessions are distinct from each other and from MoMA's sheet. [2], [19], [20]

The following year Malevich made Wilhelm's Carousel. MoMA records a 1914 lithograph, while the Tretyakov Gallery holds a 1914 colour lithograph under the Russian title Вильгельмова карусель. Their catalogue entries identify different sheets with different accessions: MoMA 14.2001 and Tretyakov ГР-1445. Calling both “the print” without specifying an impression loses that distinction. The near-matching sheet sizes, around 38 by 56 centimetres, also suggest why the composition can be confused with a single unique drawing in an image search. [3], [4]

The Tretyakov lists two further 1914 colour lithographs: «Ну и треск же, ну и гром же...» (“What a crack, what a thunder…” is an approximate gloss), ГР-1444, and «Подошел колбасник к Лодзи...» (“The sausage seller approached Łódź…” is an approximate gloss), ГР-837. Their titles retain the compressed verbal energy of the period. Museum catalogues supply each sheet's medium and dimensions, so these works can be presented as prints rather than being folded into a generic list of “Malevich paintings.” [5], [6]

MoMA notes that Malevich also collaborated with other artists, including Natalia Goncharova and Olga Rozanova, on the design and illustration of lithographed books. A book's contributors should be named at the level its record supports. One Malevich plate does not make every text and image in the volume his work. This collaborative context also helps explain why a print search can return a book, its cover, an individual plate and a later impression as separate catalogue results. [1]

MoMA's accession numbers show the hierarchy in a specific 1913 example. It credits the complete Slovo Kak Takavoe (The Word as Such), 13.1974.1–2, jointly to Malevich and Olga Rozanova, and describes a book with two lithographs. Its separately linked 13.1974.1 is Malevich's Woman Reaper front cover, a 13.5 × 8.8 cm lithographed composition. The cover is a component of that catalogued copy, not a second independent book. The museum gives the edition as 500 for both records. [21], [22]

Porosiata (Piglets) ties a printed image to a painting without turning the two into one object. Princeton catalogues a 1913 bound booklet, L.2013.6.8, held by its Cotsen Children's Library and credits it to Malevich and Aleksei Kruchenykh. The museum identifies Malevich's lithographed cover as based on his 1912 Head of a Peasant Girl, now in the Stedelijk Museum. MoMA catalogues a separate Porosiata copy, 49.2001.1–2, as a book with two lithographs including the cover and gives its edition size as 550. The owners' accession numbers identify two physical copies; neither the booklet nor its cover should be counted again as the Stedelijk oil painting. [29], [30]

The 1914 patriotic postcards create a similar counting trap. MoMA catalogues an 18-card set, 423.2001.1–18, crediting Malevich and Vladimir Mayakovsky at the set level; a linked page for 423.2001.1 credits the individual lithographed postcard to Malevich. A search can therefore return both a set and its first card. The exact card number matters, especially because several components share the same generic English title. Neither the set count nor the number of search results is a count of distinct original compositions without a card-by-card comparison. [23], [24]

The State Mayakovsky Museum supplies another object-level check. It catalogues a 1914 chromolithographic Вильгельмова карусель (Wilhelm's Carousel), ПИ-122, and a separate postcard «Ах ты, милый город Люблин...», О-147, with their own inventory numbers and joint Malevich–Mayakovsky credits. Its item titled Почтовые карточки (Postcards), Пи-559, is described as one hand-coloured typographic impression measuring 50.5 × 46.5 centimetres. The plural title is not evidence that the catalogue entry counts multiple individual cards. These museum records widen the comparison beyond MoMA's set while preserving the identity of each holding. [31], [32], [33]

The State Mayakovsky Museum also catalogues a 1912, 14-leaf Igra v adu with illustrations credited to Natalia Goncharova. That 1912 item must be distinguished from the later copies whose institutional records credit Malevich and Rozanova; a shared title alone does not establish identical illustrations or edition. [34]

The copies of Igra v adu (A Game in Hell) require another kind of care. The Metropolitan Museum of Art describes its 1992.1045 as a second expanded edition and dates it 1913, crediting Malevich and Olga Rozanova as artists and Aleksei Kruchenykh and Velimir Khlebnikov as authors. MoMA dates its accession 872.1978.1–42 1913–14, published 1914 and counts 28 lithographs including the cover; another MoMA copy, 57.2001.1–40, is dated 1914 and described with 26 lithographs. The Art Institute of Chicago also dates its book copy 2009.266 to 1914. These are catalogue descriptions of different physical copies, with differing dates and counting conventions. The available records do not settle the edition chronology or give Malevich sole credit for every image in the collaborative volume. [25], [26], [27], [28]

From image to argument: On New Systems in Art

Malevich used printed images to make an argument about artistic form. MoMA catalogues three lithographs connected to On New Systems in Art: a sheet of three construction schemas, Dynamic Figure, and Cow and Violin. The construction sheet is dated 1919; the two images carry catalogue dates of 1911 and 1911–19 respectively. Those differing dates should not be flattened into one claim that all three images were first conceived in 1919. A book can gather, rework or reproduce material from different stages of an artist's practice. [7], [8], [9]

The schemas let a reader compare axes and constructed arrangements, rather than meeting an isolated colour patch on a wall. Dynamic Figure connects print to Malevich's earlier investigation of bodies and motion; Cow and Violin points toward the intentionally unlikely pairings of his alogical work. In a theoretical publication, these images become evidence in a visual argument. They can be studied beside the theory and writings guide without mistaking a lithographed page for the painted works to which it may refer. [7], [8], [9]

Suprematism: 34 Drawings and UNOVIS

The clearest example of print as a teaching medium is Suprematizm. 34 risunka (Suprematism: 34 Drawings), published in Vitebsk in 1920. MoMA describes its copy as a book with 35 lithographed illustrations including the cover, plus lithographed manuscript text. The title's “34” and the catalogue's “35 including cover” refer to different ways of counting within the same book; neither should be silently corrected. MoMA names UNOVIS as publisher and gives an edition of approximately 100. It lists El Lissitzky as the probable printer, preserving the uncertainty. [1]

The publication sets simple forms and their combinations into a sequence. It can be read as both a visual survey and a theoretical tool. A reader encounters page turns, scale and reproducibility as part of the experience. That is different from standing before the first Black Square, whose physical surface and 1915 exhibition position belong to a single canvas. Malevich's printed book helped his ideas travel and be taught, while the individual paintings remained unique objects. [1], [10]

The Tretyakov also holds a 1920 lithograph catalogued Динамический супрематизм. Аэроплан летит (“Dynamic Suprematism: Airplane Flying”), ГРС-3045. It measures 11.9 by 9.9 centimetres. Its shared “airplane flying” language does not make it MoMA's 1915 oil painting Suprematist Composition: Airplane Flying. The date, medium, size and accession locate two different works. This is a useful case study in why a search result title is not enough to identify an object. [11], [12]

Drawings and the 1927 Bauhaus book

Malevich's Die gegenstandslose Welt appeared in 1927 in the Bauhaus book series. The Kunstmuseum Basel says that its Department of Prints and Drawings owns drawings that served as masters for illustrations in that book. The museum's 2014 exhibition returned these sheets to view and examined when and where the text and images were made. This establishes a specific relationship between original drawings and published images; it does not make a unique drawing, a printed page and a complete copy of the book the same object. [18]

When cataloguing one of these images, ask first which material witness is meant. A Basel drawing has its own support, dimensions and accession. A printed illustration belongs to a page in a particular copy and edition. The image may repeat a Suprematist composition conceived earlier, while the 1927 book presents it in a new sequence alongside a German text. The Basel exhibition account does not provide an item-by-item list on its overview page, so individual sheets are not inserted into the selected museum print table below until their object records are checked. [18]

A 1920 design printed in 1973

MoMA's Untitled (Suprematist Cross) is catalogued as a linoleum cut: 1920, printed 1973. Its recorded edition is 75 and MoMA's accession is 3.2001. The date pair is essential: the impression in the museum was made decades after Malevich's death, although the design is dated to his lifetime. It should not be described simply as “a print Malevich pulled in 1920.” The museum record identifies both the technique and the later printing. [13]

Nor should the word “cross” merge this sheet with Black Cross or any painted cross composition. Similar geometry can appear across processes and dates. For comparison, begin with the exact museum record, then ask which particular painted or printed object is being discussed. A title is an entry point, not proof of identity. [13], [14]

Selected museum print records

These entries are selected for their clear institutional identification. They are not a complete list of Malevich's prints, and two rows can represent separate impressions of one composition. Dimensions refer to the institution's specified sheet or object where noted. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [11], [13], [19], [20]

Reproductions of Malevich paintings

Many visitors searching for a “Malevich print” want a modern reproduction to display. The existing site links to reproductions of Black Square, Suprematist Composition and Black Circle. Those links lead to articles on the original paintings and their identified collections. A retailer's product can reproduce one of those images, but the product's paper, scale, cropping and colours belong to the modern edition; they are not evidence of the painting's medium or original appearance. [10], [15], [16]

Before buying or citing a reproduction, identify the exact version of the artwork and its holding museum. Black Square exists in several versions, and a generic black quadrilateral is not enough to establish which one a poster copies. Check whether a photograph includes the full painted field, whether it crops the pale border, and whether the caption gives the painting's date and collection. The owner's high-resolution images on this site provide a useful basis for close-looking annotations, with each image tied to its exact work. [10]

Frequently asked questions

Did Malevich make prints, or only paintings?

He made editioned works, particularly lithographs, and contributed images to printed books. MoMA's print essay estimates more than eighty editioned works between 1913 and 1930. [1]

Is a modern Black Square poster an original Malevich print?

No. It is a modern reproduction of a painting. An original lithograph or linoleum cut has its own museum record, printing process, date and usually an identifiable impression or edition. [1], [10], [13]

Why does Suprematism: 34 Drawings have 35 lithographed illustrations?

MoMA's catalogue count includes the cover. The title and the object description therefore use different counting conventions. [1]

Did Malevich print the 1973 Suprematist Cross himself?

He died in 1935. MoMA explicitly dates the design 1920 and the printing 1973; the museum's sheet is a later impression. [13]

Is the 1920 airplane lithograph the same as the 1915 airplane painting?

No. The Tretyakov's 1920 sheet is a lithograph, accession ГРС-3045. The MoMA work is a 1915 oil painting with a different accession and scale. [11], [12]

Are the Basel drawings for the 1927 Bauhaus book themselves prints?

No. The Kunstmuseum Basel describes them as drawings used as masters for illustrations. The drawings, printed pages and bound book require separate object descriptions. [18]

Why does MoMA list a book and its cover as separate results?

The museum gives the complete The Word as Such book and Malevich's Woman Reaper front cover related accession numbers, 13.1974.1–2 and 13.1974.1. One is the catalogued book; the other describes a component within it. [21], [22]

Discussion

Which original Malevich print or printed book would you like to examine closely?

Name the museum object or publication, and distinguish it from any modern reproduction of a painting.
