Black Square 1915

Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square," painted in 1915, is a seminal work of Suprematism, an art movement that aimed to eliminate representation and focus on pure geometric forms. This iconic painting, housed in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, features a stark black square against a white background, symbolizing the artist's rejection of traditional art and embrace of pure abstraction. The subtle cracks in the paint, visible in the black square, add a layer of texture and visual intrigue, making "Black Square" a compelling and enduring example of early 20th-century avant-garde art.
