The artwork, titled “Black Circle,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1923. It is an exemplar of the Suprematism movement and belongs to the abstract genre of art. This piece is currently housed at the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The artwork features a large, solid black circle prominently displayed against a white background. The stark contrast between the black circle and the white backdrop creates a striking visual that epitomizes the principles of Suprematism, an art movement focused on basic geometric forms and pure artistic feeling. The simplicity of the composition underscores Malevich’s exploration of geometric abstraction and the pursuit of visual clarity.
