Kasimir Malevich
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (Russian: Казимир Малевич) was a painter and art theoretician, pioneer of geometric abstract art and the originator of the avant-garde Suprematist movement.
“By "Suprematism" I mean the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art. To the Suprematist the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless; the significant thing is feeling.”
Kasimir Malevich
“The square is not a subconscious form. It is the creation of intuitive reason. The face of the new art. The square is a living, regal infant. The first step of pure creation in art.”
Kasimir Malevich
“In 1913, trying desperately to liberate art from the ballast of the representational world, I sought refuge in the form of the square.”
