Suprematist Composition: Airplane Flying 1915 - Malevich

In 1915, Kazimir Malevich created "Suprematist Composition: Airplane Flying," a central piece of suprematism. Inspired by his studies of aerial photography, Malevich developed his ideas on geometric abstraction.

His observations and studies in aerial photography allowed him to understand how forms and patterns in nature could be reduced to essential elements. Malevich argued that these basic forms could capture the essence of reality in a purer and more universal way and that the appearance of images had no relation to the essence of nature.

In this painting, the suprematist painter uses rectangles and lines to represent the sensation of flight and movement, exploring the relationship between space and form. This work not only reflects his interest in perception and abstract representation, but also his hypothesis that geometric images could reveal deep truths about nature. Suprematism, to which this painting belongs, focuses on the supremacy of pure forms and artistic sensitivity, significantly influencing later movements such as constructivism and minimalism.
