About Kazimir Severinovich Malevich
Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) was an avant-garde painter who was the founder of the Suprematist school of abstract painting. In 1913 Malevich began to create abstract geometric patterns in a manner he called Suprematism, a term expressing the notion that color, line, and shape should reign supreme over subject matter or narrative in art. Malevich was the first to exhibit paintings composed of abstract geometric elements. He constantly strove to produce pure cerebral compositions, repudiating all sensuality and representation in art. During his last years, his works show a return to figuration.
