Suprematism ((ロシア語:''Супремати́зм'')) is an art movement, focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. It was founded by Kazimir Malevich in Russia, around 1913, and announced in Malevich's 1915 exhibition, The Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0.10, in St. Petersburg, where he, alongside 13 other artists, exhibited 36 works in a similar style.〔Honour, H. and Fleming, J. (2009) ''A World History of Art''. 7th edn. London: Laurence King Publishing, pp. 793–795. ISBN 9781856695848〕 The term ''suprematism'' refers to an abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" rather than on visual depiction of objects. ==Birth of the movement== Kazimir Malevich developed the concept of Suprematism when he was already an established painter, having exhibited in the ''Donkey's Tail'' and the ''Der Blaue Reiter'' (The Blue Rider) exhibitions of 1912 with cubo-futurist works. The proliferation of new artistic forms in painting, poetry and theatre as well as a revival of interest in the traditional folk art of Russia provided a rich environment in which a Modernist culture was born. In "Suprematism" (Part II of his book ''The Non-Objective World'', which was published 1927 in Munich as Bauhaus Book No. 11), Malevich clearly stated the core concept of Suprematism: :''Under Suprematism I understand the primacy of pure feeling in creative art. To the Suprematist, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless; the significant thing is feeling, as such, quite apart from the environment in which it is called forth.'' He created a suprematist "grammar" based on fundamental geometric forms; in particular, the square and the circle. In the ''0.10 Exhibition'' in 1915, Malevich exhibited his early experiments in suprematist painting. The centerpiece of his show was the ''Black Square'', placed in what is called the ''red/beautiful corner'' in Russian Orthodox tradition; the place of the main icon in a house. "Black Square" was painted in 1915 and was presented as a breakthrough in his career and in art in general. Malevich also painted ''White on White'' which was also heralded as a milestone. "White on White" marked a shift from polychrome to monochrome Suprematism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suprematism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
