Kazimir Malevich

The world is an illusion, and only pure feeling is real.

By Suprematism I mean the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art, for the new art must be the clear expression of feeling and not an illustration of objects.

The square is the foundation of my art. It is the sign of eternity and the symbol of the infinite.

Art does not need us, does not need our thoughts; it exists independently of us.

In 1913, trying desperately to liberate art from the ballast of the objective world, I sought refuge in the square form.

The black square is the birth of the new culture.

Painting is the voice of the soul.

We have abandoned the object for the sake of pure sensation.

The artist is a man who seeks to reveal the divine in the material world.

Color is the language of the artists; it is the material means to paint a picture.

Suprematism is the new realism in painting.

I transformed myself in the zero of form and emerged from nothing to creation.

The white background is the infinity of space.

Art is the ability to construct, not on the interrelation of color or objects, but on the pure feeling of bliss.

Every form is the birth of an emotion, but it is not the form that arouses the emotion; it is the emotion that creates the form.

The square = sensation; the circle = feeling; the cross = measure.

I have beaten you all with my black square.

Non-objective art is the art of pure creation.

The artist of the future is a constructor of the world.

In art, there is no need for content; form is content.
