Suprematism Quotes

“In the year 1913, trying desperately to free art from the dead weight of the real world, I took refuge in the form of the square.”

“By 'Suprematism' I mean 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.”

“The square is not a subconscious form. It is the creation of intuitive reason. The face of the new art.”

“The black square on the white field was the first form in which non-objective feeling came to be expressed. The square = feeling, the white field = the void beyond this feeling.”
