“Suprematism” is an abstract artwork created by Kazimir Malevich in 1915. It belongs to the Suprematism art movement, which focuses on basic geometric forms and pure artistic feeling over visual representation. The artwork illustrates Malevich’s pioneering approach to abstraction, serving as a hallmark of his innovative prowess within this genre.
The artwork features an assemblage of geometric shapes, predominantly black rectangles and squares, scattered across a white background. A distinctive yellow circle is present near the lower left corner, contributing to the composition’s visual contrast. The black shapes appear to have a textured, cracked surface, adding depth and complexity to their otherwise flat forms. The arrangement of the forms lacks any discernible pattern, embodying the principles of Suprematist art which emphasizes the supremacy of pure artistic feeling through abstract depiction.
