Suprematism 1916

"Suprematism" (1916) by Kazimir Malevich is a prime example of the artist's groundbreaking Suprematist style. The painting, composed of geometric shapes in contrasting colors, rejects all representation of the natural world. The bold use of primary colors and dynamic composition of rectangles and lines against a white background, epitomize the movement’s exploration of pure form and color. Malevich’s work was hugely influential on the development of abstract art, paving the way for movements like Constructivism and Abstract Expressionism.
