Suprematism was developed in 1915 by the
Russian artist Kazimir Malevich. It was a geometric style of abstract
painting derived from elements of Cubism
and Futurism. Malevich rejected any use of representational images,
believing that the non-representational forms of pure abstraction had a
greater spiritual power and an ability to open the mind to ‘the supremacy of pure feeling’.
Suprematism was a style of pure abstraction that advocated a mystical approach to art, in contrast with Constructivism, the major Russian art movement of the 20th Century, whose imagery served the social and political ideology of the state.
