Suprematism – The Catalyst of Change in Modern Abstract Art
Suprematism was founded in 1913 by Kazimir Malevich, an artist who championed non-objectivity.
The Inspiration of Supprematism
Cubism

Futurism
Features of Suprematism in Relation to Elements of Design
- Employs mainly geometric shapes (mainly circles, squares, and triangles)
- Utilizes a limited variety of colours

- Texture of art is usually smooth and hard (oil painting)
Features of Suprematism in Relation to Principles of Design
- Suprematist art employs limited degradation

- Contrast is dependent on the goal of the suprematist artist
- Suprematism applies harmony (e.g uses similarly-shapped square
- Dominance is an important part of suprematism art
- There doesn’t seem to be any form of unity in suprematism art
