INFORMATION:
Suprematism is a Russian
art movement,
paralell to constructivism
which
influenced that movement as
well.
Suprematism focused on simple
geometric shapes against a white
background
that
Malevich
pioneered
in
1915.
Here are 5 examples of (click on:) his work.
Because of the simplicity of these
basic forms they were able to signify
a new beginning.
It wasn't until
later that suprematism received
conventional museum
preparations.
Originated by Kazimir Malevich and
disseminated by El Lissitzky and the
Bauhaus school,
it had far-reaching
influence on Western art and design.
Malevich aimed to convey the
"supremacy of feeling in art,"
which he believed could be
expressed through the simplest of
visual forms.
And boy was he
right!
He exhibited the first Suprematist
compositions in 1915,
the year he
issued the Suprematist
manifesto.
The purest
embodiment of Suprematist ideals
can be seen in his
"White on White"
series (1917 – 18).
These reductive geometries seem to be
the
product of extremely rational
thinking,
but Malevich’s writings confirm that
ultimately
he was seeking
a strong spiritual
feeling.
Describing a painting
he had
made of a black square, he said,
"The
square equals feeling, the white
background
equals nothingness."
The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam
(the
Netherlands)
has quite a collection
of his
work.
( Bernard Mueller has a couple of nice examples of the Suprematism style in his portfolio.)
