Suprematism is an abstract art movement founded by Kazimir Malevich in 1913, characterized by basic geometric shapes and a limited color palette. Key artworks include 'Black Square', which symbolizes the liberation of art from reality, and 'White Square on White', representing a new world under communism. Other notable artists like Olga Rozanova and El Lissitzky contributed to the movement, emphasizing personal interpretations and revolutionary themes.

Paintings

2. Suprematism is one of the
famous abstract art form which
emerged as a result of an art
movement. The Art style was
originally formed by Kazimir
Malevich of Russia in the year
1913. This art form can be
characterized by basic geometric
patterns such as circles, squares,
lines and rectangles painted
with less variety of colors.
Introduction

3. The term Suprematism means
an abstract art created to
highlight the supremacy of the
feelings of an artist in its purest
form. This famous abstract art
genre refrains from using the
objects of visual depiction and
depends on the geometric
shapes to present the feelings.

5. The painter himself mentioned that
this painting is a mystical trance
under the influence of cosmic
consciousness. This painting has
many connotations, debates and
arguments around it. It just had a
black square on the canvas and
nothing else. Kazimir Malevich
made this in the year 1913, to free
art from the dead weight of the real
world, by taking refuge in the form
of this square.

6. "The white" was a representation
of the unmatched state reached
through Suprematism. This painting
can be seen as the final, complete
stage of his "transformation in the
form of Zero," since form has
almost literally been reduced to
nothing.

7. The white color of the canvas has
invalidated any sense of traditional
perspective, leaving the viewer to
envisage in its "infinite" space. The
painting was also the expression of
Malevich's hopes for the creation
of a new world under Communism,
a world that can lead to spiritual
and material freedom.

8. She applied her own personal
interpretation to Suprematism.
Her interest in fabrics led her
to concentrate on textural
effects. Rozanova's ability to
employ delicate tonal contrasts
has come out in the best way
through this painting.

9. The painting uses shape, positioning
and color in keeping with the
movement's principles, especially the
"color" phase of the movement. More
interestingly, the poster reveals
propagandistic intentions in its
representation of the struggle
between the revolutionary "reds" and
the conservative "whites" in Russia. El
Lissitzky described his own brand of
Suprematism as Prounism.

Lissitzky

10. Malevich debuted his
ideas in the opera. Just as
Futurism aimed at a total
renewal of Russian culture,
so Suprematism claimed to
succeed all art movements
that have gone prior to it.

11. Malevich's designs for the opera marked a major break with
theatrical agreement, since they were neither embellished nor
did they demonstrate a comprehensible scene. The strange
darkness in the painting aligns well with the belief that the
opera was about Victory, over the old accepted concept of the
beautiful sun.

12. Nevertheless, it is quite evident that all of the famous abstract art
works were made by Kazimir Malevich. One needs a free mind
without any pre- conceived notions of art to accept these
paintings as for many this is the most unacceptable and strangest
art form ever.
