Russian Suprematism

Suprematism is an art movement founded by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich in the early 20th century. It focuses on basic geometric forms, particularly squares and rectangles, and emphasizes pure color and abstraction. Suprematism seeks to convey feelings and ideas without representing the physical world, aiming for a spiritual and emotional experience through art. The movement emerged in the context of Russia's avant-garde scene, responding to the chaos of World War I and the Russian Revolution, and it influenced later modern art movements by prioritizing simplicity and the power of color and form over traditional representation.
