The artwork titled “Black Square and Red Square” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1915. This piece is part of the Suprematism movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork features two distinct geometric shapes on a plain background. The dominant shapes are a larger black square positioned in the upper left and a smaller red square placed slightly tilted below it towards the right. Both squares are set against a neutral, light-colored background, creating a stark contrast that emphasizes the geometric simplicity and abstract nature typical of the Suprematism movement. The simplicity of the shapes and the absence of any additional details or context invite viewers to focus on the pure form and color, reflecting Malevich’s exploration of non-objective art.
