Dynamic Suprematism

Kazimir Malevich Β· 1916

Why it's great

A white triangle, a black rectangle, a blue rectangle and some bright floating bars seem to tilt and drift. Kazimir Malevich called his style Suprematism because it was about the supreme feeling of pure shapes, and he painted this in 1916.
