Kazimir Malevich

Kazimir Malevich was a Russian artist best known for founding the Suprematism movement, which emphasized basic geometric forms and pure colors. He believed art should transcend traditional representation and focus on the experience of color and shape. His most famous work, "Black Square," challenges viewers to rethink their perception of art. Malevich's ideas influenced modern art significantly, advocating for abstraction and the expressive potential of non-objective forms. His work reflects a stark departure from realism, aiming to convey emotions and concepts through simplicity and abstraction.
