Composition 1914

"Composition" (1914) by Kazimir Malevich is a seminal work of Suprematism, an art movement that aimed to express pure feeling through geometric shapes. This particular piece, with its stark black and grey forms against a white background, showcases the key elements of Malevich's radical approach. The carefully arranged rectangles, a circle, a clover, and an inverted "L" devoid of representational meaning, are meant to evoke emotion directly through their composition. Malevich's Suprematist works profoundly influenced the development of abstract art, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and challenging traditional aesthetics.
