Kazimir Malevich is the pioneer of the Suprematism Art Movement. He was born in 1879 in Kyiv, a city that was part of the Russian Empire at that time.
It was while studying at the Moscow School of Art that he discovered various art styles, including Impressionist paintings and Symbolism art.
He was primarily self-taught and had a strong desire to push artistic boundaries. His early paintings illustrate the influence of the Impressionist artists, but he soon began experimenting with abstract forms. Favoring geometric forms and a vibrant palette set the stage for his significant contribution to the Modern Art Movement.
In 1915, Kazimir Malevich introduced the world to a radical new art movement known as Suprematism. Suprematist paintings focus on simple shapes and a limited palette of colors. They moved away from traditionally showing objects.
Malevich believed that pure artistic feeling is crucially important. He believed art should evoke a spiritual response and transcend the material world.
