Suprematist Composition

Brightly colored rectangles and bars float at dynamic diagonals across a white void, weightless and precisely balanced, belonging to no recognizable world. Kazimir Malevich painted such Suprematist Compositions to express pure feeling freed entirely from objects, the colored shapes drifting as if in a cosmic, gravity-less space. Now in a private collection after setting an auction record for Russian art, this work embodies his revolutionary idea - that painting could abandon the visible world altogether and become a realm of pure form, color, and sensation, a vision of infinity built from a few floating geometric elements.
