 Short Bio of Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935)
Russian painter and designer, with Mondrian the most important pioneer of geometric abstract art.
Malevich, however, was fired with the desire ‘to free art from the burden of the object’ and launched the Suprematist movement, which brought abstract art to a geometric simplicity more radical than anything previously seen.
He claimed that he made a picture ‘consisting of nothing more than a fl square on a white field’ as early as 1913, but Suprematist paintings were first made public in Moscow in 1915 and there is often difficulty in dating his work.

After this he seems to have realized he could go no further along this road and virtually gave up abstract painting, turning more to teaching, writing, and making three-dimensional models that were important in the growth of Constructivism.
In 1919 he started teaching at the art school at Vitebsk, where he exerted a profound influence on Lissitzky, and in 1922 he moved to Leningrad, where he lived for the rest of his life.
However, his influence on abstract art, in the west as well as Russia, was enormous.
