Kazimir Malevich
Kazimir Malevich, born in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1879, was a pioneering Russian avant-garde artist and the founder of the Suprematist movement. He studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Malevich's early career included explorations of Cubism and Futurism, but he is best known for his abstract works featuring geometric shapes and a limited color palette. Notable works include "Black Square" and "White on White." Malevich's art emphasized the purity of shape and color, seeking to transcend the material world. He passed away in 1935, leaving a profound legacy in abstract art. Read more about Arts.
