Résumé anglais K.S. Malevich, Light and colour. We are giving below, published for the first time in the original language - Russian - three lectures of the founder of Suprematism addressed to the students of the "formal-theoretical section" of GINKHUK in Leningrad. The relevant manuscripts are preserved at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam. These philosophical texts enounce the problem of the authenticity (podlinnost1) of the couple "light-colour" culminating in the conclusion that neither the light of the sun nor the light of learning really exist and that colour is only a phenomenon of the "prism of culture". The texts formulate also the essential theological problem, the "question of God". Though because of adverse circumstances, Malevich expressed his conceptions in a somewhat disguised way, we find here a passionate quest for God, for "non— objective God". Malevich conceives a new figure of God, a new relation to divinity.
