The artistic work of Kazimir Severinovich Malevich is extremely versatile. From initially impressionistic art, Malevich developed an increasingly unique style, which eventually led to the founding of an entirely new art movement - Suprematism, which was completely detached from the subject matter.
Malevich was born in 1878 as the child of Polish parents in Kiev. He was deprived of a good school education also due to several moves of the family. Already in his early youth Malevich began to draw and in 1904 he was able to start a professional education at an art school in Moscow. Influenced by artists such as Monet, at this time he created mostly impressionistic landscape paintings, such as the painting titled "Spring". Soon after, Malevich created his typical cubofuturistic paintings with large-scale and simple forms. He liked to choose motifs from peasant life and painted unique works during this period, such as "Woman Cutting" or "Entering the Rye". Warm colors make the paintings look natural and harmonious.
From 1913 Kazimir Malevich finally developed his own style of art, Suprematism, in which geometric forms are completely detached from any object. The most significant work of this direction is Malevich's "Black Square on a White Ground". His Suprematist compositions are compilations of squares and circles in different colors. They captivate by their simplicity and structure. For Malevich, complete detachment from the object meant a liberation in art and at the same time a revolution. The painter recorded his ideas in art theoretical writings. In Malevich's late work, the forms merged again into figures and thus works such as "Girl in a Field" and "Head of a Peasant" were created.
