The artwork, titled “Suprematism,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1915. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece exemplifies the Suprematism movement. Measuring 97 x 66 cm, the artwork belongs to the abstract genre and is housed at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork is characterized by its use of geometric shapes arranged in a seemingly random, yet deliberate manner on a blank, white background. Predominantly featuring black rectangles, squares, and a singular yellow circle, it captures the essence of Suprematism’s focus on basic geometric forms and the sensation of pure feeling in creative art. The stark contrast between the dark shapes and the white canvas, along with the textured surfaces of the black forms, evokes a profound sense of simplicity and abstraction. The refined arrangement suggests an exploration of visual balance and harmony, devoid of representational elements.
