About Suprematist Composition: Aeroplane Flying

“Suprematist Composition: Aeroplane Flying” is an oil painting on canvas created by Kazimir Malevich in 1915. This artwork belongs to the Suprematism art movement and falls under the abstract genre. It is housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.

The artwork features a dynamic arrangement of geometric shapes, predominantly rectangles and squares, in vibrant colors such as yellow, black, red, and blue. These shapes are set against a white background, creating a sense of movement and spatial depth. The composition’s simplicity and use of primary colors are characteristic of the Suprematist movement, which focuses on basic geometric forms and the visual impact of color. The arrangement of shapes invokes the impression of an aeroplane in flight, though in an entirely abstract manner.
