"Suprematist
Composition"
From the simplest geometric, monochrome shapes, Malevich
built an entire suprematist universe in a series of stunning canvases
like this composition painted around 1916. Unlike Goncharova and
Larionov, Malevich remained in the Soviet Union after the Revolution.
In the first years after 1917, he held a series of major teaching
posts in Moscow, Petrograd, and Vitebsk. There he tried to systematize
the insights he had gained in his suprematist period, and apply
them to the creation of a scientific school of art teaching and
production.
