Founder of Suprematism
“They always demand that art be understandable, but they never demand that they adapt their heads to understanding…”
Malevich, by the will of fate, became the founder of a radical artistic movement – Suprematism. He found a fulcrum, his ideal formula for ideal art, and everything came together in one canvas.
At a point there is no need to see other than a point, so in Suprematism a point appears in the form of a square or circle, which causes strong indignation throughout society. But in the end they will come to a point for themselves…

Artist, which belongs to the whole world

In his book “From Cubism and Futurism to Suprematism,” Kazimir Malevich said that he “does not want to copy and distort the movement of objects and other varieties of natural forms.” In addition to the “Black Square”, Malevich also has “Red Square” and “White”, as well as “Black Circle”, triangles and ovals.
In fact, “Black Square” never left alone – it is part of a triptych that also included “Black Circle” and “Black Cross”. Together they create an iconostasis of new art, there are many religious associations and motifs. Malevich considered these three forms to be basic, in which all other forms are further developed.
The painting cannot be viewed only from the point of color, it must be seen and heard…
