Supremus No. 56 is a reinterpretation of an iconic composition by Kazimir Malevich. The original work is closely tied to the development of Suprematism, a movement founded by Malevich in 1913 that explored color and form in painting through basic geometric shapes.
“It became clear to me that new frameworks of pure color must be created, based on what color demanded, and also that color, in its turn, must pass out of the pictorial mix into an independent unity, a structure in which it would be at once individual in a collective environment and individually independent.” — Kazimir Malevich
