Exhibition at Tate Modern
In the suprematist paintings:
instability - 'toppling' piles of shapes; the eye being forced to shift focus (what is the focus?); counterpooising of shapes; directionality
depth - shape of planes indicates recession; power of colours in relation to one another; white background - infinite; contrasting areas of dynamic; relative size of shapes
The term suprematism refers to an abstract art based upon “the supremacy of pure artistic feeling” rather than on visual depiction of objects. (M's words in italics)
White planes in dissolution, 1917-18 - the dissolution as he thought then of of himself as painter and of painting itself.
