the ultimate illusion of irrational space | Referenced from : *El Lissitzky quote.
Suprematism in general is all about keeping minimal, flat, bold, two-dimensional subjects or they can even be converted to three-dimensional. Kazimir Malevich invented this art movement, he invented the flatness, and stood by the studies of merging two-dimensional & that of three-dimensional. Technical words to describe more the movement of Suprematism can be associated with the abstraction of art or design. Malevich had a theory, that stated - Suprematism will be over power on other artistic movements that are from the past, and not the modern.
Zero Degree
The three elements that communicate together, and re form the word 'Zero Degree' are Space, Surface & Creation. Malevich stated that to reach the perfection of the Zero Degree art, one has to practice the study of Colour & Texture. Examples of this kind of philosophy is the 'Black Square' described as the 'living, royal infant', this study of black colour more referred to the decay of past art movements and starting a new era, a revolution - a black beginning. Thus this Black Square is a prime piece for it's symbolistic theme, it is a landmark for the movement, the abstract movement.
In comparison with : Victory over the sun | Kazimir Malevich
Spoke about the connection that El Lissitzky & Kazimir Malevich had over their own works of art, but this time Kazimir cooperated with Alexei Kruchenykh & Mikhail Matiushin. The art piece 'Victory over the sun' is the rebirth of an artist, and in this case Malevich sought to contrast the in between of Black & White to resemble his new movement. Visual elements are being represented in a way of a Graphic Design element, and not to forget that this time, was very influenced by the futurists & constructivists. Geometry has most of the use, it's motifs though it does not entirely take part onto the Suprematist line of channel. Stating that artists at that time, said to use a simple black box with no definition of colour nor' shading, but it does move towards the influence of the Cubist movement, using it's Flatness.
