The Suprematist Art movement was established by Kazimir Malevich. He was a Russian artist who was influenced by the early abstract styles such as Cubism and Italian Futurism. He was working in Soviet Russia and was interested in the idea of over throwing the conventional western realist art traditions. In line with the culture of the time anything smacking of rich western capitalist culture was not to be respected. The way he set about doing this was to go further in terms of abstraction in art than Cubism ever dreamt of. He saw art as being pure shape, texture and colour. His ultimate piece of Suprematist art was simply the painting of a black square - not even colour and no attempts at recreating "realism" to distract from the artistic endeavour.
