A seminal movement of the Russian avant-garde, founded by Kazimir Malevich and premiered at the "0.10" Exhibition in 1915. Defined by basic geometric shapes—squares, circles, crosses, and straight lines—painted in a limited range of bold, flat colors. Suprematism asserts the supremacy of pure feeling and pure form over the depiction of the physical world. By liberating art from representation and narrative, it reached the ultimate peak of non-objective abstraction, famously spearheaded by Malevich's radical Black Square.
