Description: Moscow, Izdanie gosudarstvennoi Treiskovskoi Galerei (the State Tretiakovsky Gallery), 1929;. stapled offwhite wrappers printed in black. First edition; printed in 1000 copies; 172x129mm; pp.10; illustrated with 1 reproduction of a painting (Haymaking, 1928/29) by Malevich; with an essay of 'the painter Malevich' by A. Fedorov-Davidov. Booklet accompanying Malevich' last personal exhibition during his lifetime, shown in November 1929 in the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow and thereafter in Kiev. On view were new works, going back to his work at the end of 1912/early 1913. 'The works were, however, dated by him being from 1909 and 1910'. The reproduced painting is closely related to a drawing of a mower, 1912. Since 1926 till his death in 1935 Malevich met increasing difficulties in working and teaching in the USSR, his work and connections abroad being considered as politically questionable. Shortly after this exhibition, in 1930, he was arrested and questioned. Folding of spine of cover split through, otherwise a good copy of this important document. Hellyer 375, Andersen 283, cat.
