Paper Summary:

The paper looks at non-objective art and at how Kasimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian viewed the relationship between this type of art and spirituality. Specifically, the paper shows how while it is evident that both men saw the important ways in which intellectual and cognitive transcendence could be achieved through non-objective art, Malevich seems the more explicit of the two men when it comes to linking non-objective artwork with western, organized religion; for his part, Mondrian favors a more diffuse or less-easy-to-label spiritualism more in line with ancient eastern occultism.
