Blue Space 1917

"Blue Space" (1917) by Kazimir Malevich is a seminal example of Suprematism, an art movement that emerged in Russia in the early 20th century. The artwork features a stark white background, against which a diagonal line, punctuated with dashes, and a series of black circles of varying sizes are arranged. This minimalist composition exemplifies Suprematist principles, prioritizing geometric forms and abstract concepts over representational imagery. Malevich sought to transcend the limitations of traditional art by reducing form to its purest expression, creating a purely non-objective visual language.
