Suprematist
- Scope note
- Refers to the first movement of pure geometric abstraction in painting, originated by Kasimir Malevich around 1913. The style is characterized by simple forms, such as circles, squares and triangles typically in limited colors such as black, red, green, and blue, on a white background. In the 1920s, El Lissitzky took Suprematist ideas and experimented with new techniques in printing, exhibiting and photomontage.
