Kazimir Malevich

Kazimir Malevich was the abstract expressionist who founded the artistic and phillosophical school of Suprematism. The basis of Suprematism is that "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" ought to be the basis of art, rather than simply the visual depiction of objects. To that end, Malevich's art focused heavily on basic geometric forms such as the square and the circle, two of his most famous works being a black square titled Black Square and another piece called White on White, 2 white squares layered upon each other.
