“‘Everything which we call nature’, he [Malevich] wrote in 1926, ‘in the last analysis, is a figment of the imagination, having no relation whatever to reality’. Appearance was an illusion. True being was non-figurative, so non-representative painting was necessary for the presentation of the truths hidden by common objectivity. ‘Form is a condition’, wrote Malevich. ‘In Reality form does not exist’.”
