'''Suprematism''' (supremacy of pure artistic feeling) was an art movement, focused on basic geometric forms, painted in a limited range of colors. In 1913, Kazimir Malevich began creating [[abstract]] geometric patterns in a style he called ''Suprematism'' - where art could be free from the burden of the object. Suprematist painters were Kseniya Boguslavskaya (1892–1972), Il’ya Chashnik (1902–29), Nikolay Suetin (1897–1954), Vera Yermolayeva (1893–1938) and Lev Yudin (1903–41).
<blockquote>
A Futurist Exhibition took place in St. Petersburg in December 1915; this exhibition has since been credited in launching two new styles ''[[Constructivism]]'' along with ''Suprematism'', which dominated [[art]] in Russia including image design, [[architecture]] and theatre until ''Socialist Realism'' was forcibly introduced.

Suprematism was opposed to political positions of Constructivism.
