Suprematism 1915

"Suprematism" (1915) by Kazimir Malevich is a prime example of the artist's radical artistic movement of the same name. This abstract artwork utilizes basic geometric shapes, like squares, rectangles, and a single circle, in a limited color palette of black, white, yellow, blue, red and green, against a white background. Malevich's work is characterized by its rejection of representational art and the exploration of pure form and color, aiming to convey pure feeling and emotion. This piece, like many of his Suprematist works, embodies the principles of non-objective art, creating a composition devoid of any recognizable subject matter.
