"SUPREMATISM"

The passage by Kazimir Malevich entitled "From Cubism and Futurism to Suprematism" most effectively communicates the ideology behind Suprematism. The traces of progressive thinking compose a dialect that can be sensibly followed and understood; offering an understanding that is further strengthened with the achievements and failures of Cubism and Futurism. However clear of an understanding is obtained after reading Malevich's passage, there are some cryptic, questionable ideas that might require further investigation.
Suprematism upholds a definition of art that is crucial in understanding the ideology, and simply put: art is creation. Creation occurs only in novel forms that are completely devoid of all references to nature (nature being everything composing our world and beyond). It is a rejection of everything we recognize at conscious and subconcious levels, thus something truly new; this is the goal of art. And now art proceeds with this exact purpose, assuming its own unique role in our lives and universe. This is the defining ideology behind Suprematism: that art exists as a unique expression defined by its purpose to create something new.
Consider the "Black Square on a White Background;" this is novel because it does not occur anywhere in nature. The replication of things in nature through artistic reproduction is offensive to both art and nature herself. The act of imitative painting already offends the subject matter by creating a form that is never as great as the original. Paint does not occur anywhere in nature, nor should it be used to express her forms. However, paint does dwell in the realm of art, where it is expressive of its purpose to create imagery. And still, it is not just imagery; in creating something novel, a painting assumes its own identity, it becomes an interactive piece of our world as introduced by the artist. This artwork by Malevich is possibly the most basic, but at the same time the most peotic, contribution to Suprematist work.
Nature is the mother of all things in existence, and Malevich is slightly inconsistent throughout the passage with his attitude towards her. In one statement he declares that art moves towards "domination over the forms of nature," but I would say more accurately "freedom from" the forms of nature. For art to exist as a real creation it must be truly novel, but nevertheless nature is undeniably present in everything in existence. For the sake of Suprematism, maybe her role is beyond comprehensive, or relevant, means, but it is because of nature that we can see in the first place, and think deeper thoughts about art and Suprematism. And for sake of architecture, it is perhaps the best means of expressing the ideals of Suprematism, for architecture is novel creation because it is a development upon nature with forms that have not been provided.
