Kazimir Malevich Suprematism Composition Postcard
Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Composition is a seminal work in abstract art that exemplifies his Suprematist philosophy, focusing on pure geometric forms and colour to express "intuitive reason" and the essence of painting itself. The painting features a dynamic arrangement of shapes-a skewed blue square, rectangles, and a bold deep-purple horizontal band-set against a stark white background. These elements appear as particles in motion, akin to photons travelling through space, symbolising the elemental beauty of the natural world isolated from representational content.
The meaning behind this composition lies in Malevich’s radical rejection of traditional figurative art and his pursuit of pure abstraction. He believed that colour and texture are ends in themselves and that art should not depict objects but rather convey sensations such as weight, speed, and direction of movement. This painting embodies the "creation of intuitive reason," where forms have individual existence and life independent of nature or aesthetic conventions. Malevich saw this as the pinnacle of artistic expression, aiming to free art from the "ballast of the objective" and to evoke a spiritual and emotional purity beyond material representation.
Each geometric form in the composition has its own life and existence, isolated yet harmoniously arranged to express an ideal. The painting serves as a visual manifesto, communicating universal concepts of space, movement, form, and relativity, rather than specific narrative or symbolic meaning. It marks a decisive break from historical art traditions, announcing a new art for a new world.
Additionally, this Suprematist Composition is available as a jigsaw puzzle, offering an engaging and enjoyable way to interact with Malevich’s abstract vision. Solving the puzzle allows one to appreciate the dynamic interplay of shapes and colours firsthand, deepening the connection with the essence of Suprematism through a tactile and contemplative experience.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
