Suprematism

Suprematism is an abstract art movement focused on pure feeling and fundamental visual forms. Developed in the early 20th century, it marked a radical departure from representational art. Suprematist artists sought to free art from the depiction of objects and the material world.

Simple geometric shapes such as squares, circles, and lines became the primary elements of composition. These forms were arranged on flat surfaces, often against white backgrounds, to emphasize space and balance. Color was reduced to a limited palette, reinforcing clarity and intensity.

Suprematism emphasized spiritual expression over visual reality. It aimed to communicate emotion through shape and color alone. The movement played a crucial role in the development of abstract art and modern visual language. Its minimalist approach remains influential for its purity and conceptual strength.
