Kazimir Malevich
Kazimir Malevich was born in Kiev and is considered one of the most influential artists in the development of abstract art. He is best known for pioneering Suprematism, an art movement focused on pure geometric shapes, such as squares and circles, and the exploration of color and form beyond representational art.
Malevich is regarded as the inventor of abstraction. Alongside artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian, he challenged traditional concepts of art and its form. His groundbreaking work, especially his iconic Black Square, emphasized simplicity and purity, aiming to express the essence of reality beyond material representation.
Malevich’s contributions to modern art have had a lasting influence, and his innovations continue to inspire artists worldwide.
