“Suprematism with Blue Triangle and Black Square” is an abstract artwork created by Kazimir Malevich in 1915. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Suprematism art movement. It is currently housed in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork features a simple yet profound composition. Central to the piece is a large black square, placed on a white background which may represent the void or infinity. Adjacent to it, a blue triangle is positioned, its point intersecting the square at the right angle. The stark contrast between the deep, solid black of the square and the vibrant blue of the triangle creates a dynamic visual interplay. The essence of Suprematism is captured in this minimalistic arrangement of geometric shapes, emphasizing pure artistic feeling over the depiction of objects. The artist’s use of color and form conveys a sense of movement and tension, characteristic of the revolutionary artistic ideas of the early 20th century.
