Kazimierz Malewicz, internationally known as Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935), was a pioneering painter and art theorist, and one of the central figures of twentieth-century abstraction. As the founder of Suprematism, he sought to move beyond the representation of the visible world and develop a new visual language based on pure geometric form, colour and spatial relationships.
His work is characterised by simplified shapes, flat areas of colour and carefully balanced compositions. Squares, circles, crosses and dynamic geometric elements became the foundation of his most radical works, including the iconic Black Square, which marked a decisive break with traditional approaches to painting.
Working across painting, drawing, printmaking and theoretical writing, Malewicz continually explored the possibilities of abstraction and artistic perception. His ideas had a profound influence on the development of modern art, establishing him as one of the most important and innovative artists of the European avant-garde.
