Billboard 1922

Kazimir Malevich’s “Billboard” (1922) is an early example of Suprematism, an art movement that aimed to transcend representational art. The artwork features bold black text against a beige background and a bold black horizontal band across the center. It is believed to be a poster for an exhibition of Malevich's work, likely showcasing his abstract and geometric compositions. The text on the poster reads “Exhibition of K.S. Malevich, New Evidence in Art." This piece demonstrates the artist’s interest in non-objective art and his desire to explore new forms of visual expression. Malevich believed that Suprematism, with its pure geometric forms, could create a new, utopian world.
