Suprematism

Suprematism

Suprematism is an art movement focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. The term suprematism refers to an abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" rather than on visual depiction of objects.

It was the first art movement that created total geometric abstraction: paintings that didn't rely on realistic images (for example, a landscape or portrait) or narrative and where the picture told a story. You sometimes also see this type of art called non-objective.
