Composition avec deux rectangles égaux et parallèles by Kazimir Malevich, 1920

Kazimir Malevich, the pioneer of Suprematism, stripped art down to its absolute basics here, using just black rectangles and intersecting lines inside a simple square frame. Created in 1920, this minimalist composition looks almost like a secret code or a child's drawing, but it represents a radical shift away from depicting the real world. Malevich believed that pure geometric feeling was the future of art, proving you don't need a landscape or a portrait to make a powerful visual statement.
