| I looked within a portrait (photo) of Malevich to find the basic component(s) ... pixel(s) … just as he looked within himself ... inside the objective world ...
for a pure feeling in creative art to find his "Black Square", and other Suprematist works.
Malevich founded the art movement, Suprematism in Moscow, 1913 as a parallel to Constructivism. Suprematism ["supremacy of forms"] is a study in abstraction conceived in itself ... non-objective
and not related to anything except geometric shapes and colors ... and a precursor to Minimalism. He states, "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.
I took refuge in the square form and exhibited a picture which consisted of nothing more than a black square on a white field. It is filled with the spirit of nonobjective sensation which
pervades everything. This is no empty square, but rather the feeling of nonobjectivity."
This culminated in the project, “My Dear Malevich” (prints), which has been exhibited internationally (Russia and China). It has received numerous accolades:
