The Red Cavalry

Summary/Abstract: Kazimir Malevitch is a prominent figure of the artistic insurrection that forewent the October Socialist Revolution and survived the Civil war, only to be violently suppressed after the installation of the Bolshevik regime. Malevitch is also the main character of Videlier’s chronicle of the turmoil caused in Russia by the Civil War. The progress of the bloody confrontations and the enthusiasms that inflamed the artistic spirit of the epoch and gave birth to Suprematism are presented in parallel sequences with significant details that describe on the one hand the confusion, chaos, poverty and famine that put a dramatically heavy toll on a whole country and its people, and on the other hand, the lies and tricks, the duplicities, travesties and self-mystifications used by both parties involved in order to resist the destroying truth.
