First sentence: When Kazimir Malevich launches Suprematism at 0.10: The Last Futurist Exhibition (Posledniaia futuristicheskaia vystavka kartin: 0:10), held in Petrograd in 1915 (fig. 16), he describes his new achievement as a kind of "painterly realism" (zhivopisnyi realizm), as opposed to painterly illusionism, explaining that his "new painterly realism is a painterly one precisely because it has no realism of mountains, sky, water."
