Russian Art
Malevich, K. S.
"Giocanda (Partial Eclipse), Detail". 1914 ca.
Notes: Detail from "Gioconda (Partial Eclipse)".
For Malevich, Cubism came to connote the visual evidence of an advanced state of mind. "Gioconda," which relies heavily on the painter's knowledge of Braque's and Picasso's cubism, is inscribed "Partial Eclipse" in Russian.
