The Knifegrinder or Principle of Glittering (Russian: Точильщик, Tochil'schik Printsip Mel'kaniia), also called The Knifegrinder (The Glittering Edge)[1] and sometimes shortened to simply The Knifegrinder, is a 1912-13 cubo-futurist painting by the artist Kazimir Malevich, hence the fragmentation of form associated with futurism as well as the abstract geometry related to cubism. As of 2014[update], it is in the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut.[2]
