Suprematism began in Russia in 1913 with the help of artist Kasimir Malevich. He introduced it to the public in 1915 with his manifesto and exhibition titled "0.10 The Last Futurist Exhibition" held in Petrograd. The Suprematist style aimed to eliminate all natural forms and favored flat geometric patterns that represented emotions rather than objects and supported pure aesthetic creativity. Malevich art was produced with pure geometric shapes positioned to only initiate aesthetic feeling and held no allusions to anything social, political, or otherwise. Although the movement was mostly confined to oil painting, Suprematists used the theory to create textiles, typography, and architectural structures in addition to painting and sculpture. In 1918, Suprematism was replaced by Constructivism.

Kasimir Malevich (1978 - 1935)
Kasimir Severinovich Malevich was initially influenced by French Impressionist while studying in Moscow from 1902 to 1905. After moving to Paris in 1912, Malevich switched to Cubism, and formed his own derivation called Suprematism, a more ardent and refined approach to Cubism. The movement received capricious reviews, persuading Malevich to experimenting with Minimalism. He forewent oil paintings for sculpture later in his career and helped to mold the Soviet Constructivist era.
