Malevich (Kazimir Malevich)

Kazimir Malevich was a pioneering Russian artist best known for founding the Suprematism movement, which emphasized basic geometric forms and colors to express pure artistic feelings rather than representational content. His most famous work, "Black Square," challenges traditional aesthetics by presenting a simple black square on a white background, symbolizing a break from the past and the embrace of abstraction. Malevich believed that art should transcend the visible world and convey deeper spiritual truths. His ideas had a profound influence on modern art, paving the way for future movements like Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism.
