Suprematism

Suprematism

 

Suprematism is an abstract art movement that originated in Russia in the early 20th century, pioneered by artist Kazimir Malevich. It is characterized by geometric shapes, particularly the use of simple, non-representational forms such as squares, circles, and rectangles. Suprematist art seeks to express the purity and essence of art itself, often devoid of any specific subject matter. It represents a departure from traditional representational art, emphasizing the spiritual and aesthetic qualities of abstract forms.
