Kasimir Malevich

Kasimir Malevich was a pioneering Russian artist best known for creating abstract, geometric artworks. He pioneered Suprematism, an art movement focusing on simple shapes like squares and circles, emphasizing pure artistic feeling rather than representational accuracy. His most famous work, "Black Square," symbolizes a breakthrough from traditional art, emphasizing the supremacy of basic forms and colors. Malevich's work challenged viewers to see art beyond realistic depiction, exploring spiritual and philosophical ideas through minimalism. His innovative approach significantly influenced modern abstract art and shifted perceptions of artistic expression in the 20th century.
