Suprematism. On the stairs of knowledge

At the base of Suprematism lies the idea of ​​dominance, the superiority of color over all other properties of painting. In the lawless canvases, the paint, according to K. S. Malevich, was first freed from the auxiliary role, from serving other goals - the Suprematic paintings became the first step of “pure creativity”, that is, an act that equalized the creative power of man and nature. In artistic practice, Suprematism was expressed in combinations of multi -colored planes of simple geometric outlines (in geometric forms of a straight line, square, circle and rectangle) The combination of multi -colored and different -made geometric shapes forms a balanced asymmetric supplies pierced by the inner movement.
