Suprematic Group 1920

Kazimir Malevich made this artwork "Suprematic Group" with the most basic of means: a square. I wonder what it was like for Malevich, stepping into the studio each day, thinking about squares. It's like he wasn't just painting squares; he was communing with them. Look at how he divides the canvas into four equal parts, alternating between stark white and solid black, creating a balanced yet dynamic composition. It reminds me of Sol LeWitt’s cubes, those modular, conceptual structures that were so cool, but for Malevich, it's not just about form; it's about feeling and a deeply rooted belief in the power of abstraction. When an artist reduces their palette down to black and white, they are searching for something more. It is an interesting question: What can an artist communicate with the simplest means? Artists engage in an ongoing conversation, building upon each other's ideas. It’s like an endless game of telephone, where each artist whispers their interpretation of the world into the ear of the next.
