The artwork, titled “Suprematism,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1916. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 80.5 x 81 centimeters and belongs to the Suprematism art movement. This abstract piece features geometric shapes and forms arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet harmonious composition.
In “Suprematism,” the artist employs a minimalist palette with blocks of various colors set against a predominantly white background. The arrangement includes rectangles, squares, and lines in different hues, including black, blue, yellow, red, and shades of grey. The composition reflects the Suprematist focus on basic geometric forms and pure artistic feeling, devoid of any reference to the physical world. The overall effect is both dynamic and contemplative, inviting viewers to engage with the fundamental elements of art.
