Subject: Question

I have a question: do you know whether VN was familiar with the paintings of Kazimir Malevich? If he was familiar with them, when exactly did he learn of them?
Do you know whether anyone has already written about VN and Malevich?
 
 look forward to hearing from you.
 
Best,
Nassim
