In the field

In "In the Field," Kazimir Malevich explores the principles of Suprematism by emphasizing abstract forms over natural or figurative representation. The painting exemplifies his shift away from traditional Cubism and realism, focusing instead on pure geometry and spiritual feeling. Malevich often began with sketch and study to distill the essence of his compositions, aiming to access "the supremacy of pure feeling." As a pioneer of Russian avant-garde, his work reflects his interest in developing an art that transcends objectivity and explores the realm of pure spirituality, shaping modern abstract art.
