Suprematism 1916

Kazimir Malevich's *Suprematism* (1916) is a prime example of the Russian avant-garde movement, which sought to break from traditional art forms. Malevich's work is characterized by its use of geometric shapes, flat planes of color, and a rejection of representational imagery. The painting's simple composition, featuring a large white triangle and other geometric shapes in various colors, reflects the artist's belief in the pure, non-objective nature of art. This work paved the way for future abstract and non-representational art movements.
