Art Theory Suprematism
Suprematism is an art movement focused on geometric shapes and forms, particularly squares, circles, and rectangles, placed in dynamic compositions. Developed by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich in the early 20th century, Suprematism sought to express the pure essence of art through non-representational forms and colors. This avant-garde movement rejected traditional artistic conventions and aimed to evoke spiritual and emotional responses in viewers through the use of simple, abstract shapes and a limited palette of colors. Suprematist artworks often appear flat and two-dimensional, emphasizing the visual power of geometric abstraction.
