‘ART’ Dramaturgy

Kazimir Malevich

1879-1935 | Russian

“Color and texture in painting are ends in themselves. They are the essence of painting, but this essence has always been destroyed by the subject.”

Kazimir Malevich. Suprematist Composition: White on White. 1918

Kazimir Malevich. Black Square. 1913

“Under Suprematism I understand the supremacy 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.”
