Философия анархизма в русском художественном авангарде и “замкнутые конструкции” Даниила Хармса

The paper deals with the role of nineteenth- and twentieth-century anarchism, and in the wider sense, anarchy in the Russian Avantgarde. Anarchist ideas were a strong factor in Malevich's ideas and work, culminating in the “Black Square”. The work of Kharms is closely connected with both anarchy and Malevich, as the element of the absurd favours principles such as non-selectiveness, de-hierarchization. Moreover, for Kharms basic “closed forms” such as square, point, circle and (straight) line are of great importance.
