About Movement Suprematist square

The artwork titled “Movement Suprematist Square,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1920, exemplifies the Suprematism art movement and belongs to the abstract genre. An emblematic piece by Malevich, it conveys the artist’s focus on fundamental geometric forms and pure artistic feeling, devoid of conventional subject matter.

The artwork features a stark composition dominated by two solid black squares, which are slightly offset to suggest motion and overlap within a larger white square border. The harsh contrast between the black elements and the white background accentuates their geometrical rigor and the sense of movement, embodying the Suprematist ethos of reducing art to its most essential forms. The almost minimalist design underscores Malevich’s philosophical drive to transcend the natural world in art, portraying pure artistic expression through geometry.
