An Orthodox church, a long curved sword, a candle; a fish, a ladder, a red arrow, a red spoon, and a saw blade crowd the canvas around a confused man in a top hat, his mouth open. This is a 1914 Kazimir Malevich work titled An Englishman in Moscow. Reading The Descent, a new book by the Times’s long-time Russia correspondent Marc Bennetts, it is hard not to see him in the painting.
