About Suprematism

The artwork titled “Suprematism,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1915, is a fundamental piece within the Suprematism art movement, characterized by its abstract genre.

The artwork exemplifies the essence of Suprematism through its geometric composition, featuring an array of black and dark rectangular shapes. These shapes vary in size and orientation, dispersed against a pristine, white background. Notably, a singular golden circle breaks the monochromatic scheme, offering a striking contrast to the otherwise stark arrangement. The interplay between the rigid forms and the negative space underscores Malevich’s pursuit of pure artistic feeling, devoid of representational constraints. This piece manifests the artist’s radical approach to abstract art, emphasizing the supremacy of geometric shapes in conveying emotion and meaning.
