About Square

The artwork titled “Square,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913, is an exemplar of the Suprematism movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork is a minimalist composition, featuring a square with a bold, dark triangular section that disrupts the uniformity of the form. The geometric simplicity and stark contrast between the black and white areas reflect the Suprematist philosophy of focusing on basic geometric shapes and pure artistic feeling. Malevich’s deliberate use of these core elements embodies a profound exploration of spatial relationships and abstraction. The study is marked by precise lines and a sense of depth, achieved through subtle shading and perspective, showcasing Malevich’s intricate attention to form and structure.
