Black Square (2nd version) 1923

Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square (2nd version)" is a quintessential example of Suprematism, a movement he founded. Painted in 1923, this iconic artwork features a stark black square, floating against a white background. Its simplicity challenges traditional notions of art and representation, focusing instead on the pure form and color. The white border around the square further emphasizes its isolation and purity, making it a powerful symbol of artistic liberation.
