36 Quotes by Kazimir Malevich

Everywhere there is craft and technique; everywhere there is artistry and form. Art itself, technique, is ponderous and clumsy, and because of its awkwardness it obstructs that inner element...

I have broken the blue boundary of color limits, come out into the white; beside me comrade-pilots swim in this infinity.

By suprematism I mean the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art.

In art there is a need for truth, not sincerity.

When, in 1913, in a desperate attempt to rid art of the ballast of objectivity, I took refuge in the form of the square... the critics... sighed, "All that we loved has been lost. We are in a desert"... But the desert is filled with the spirit of non-objective feeling...

The square = feeling, the white field = the void beyond this feeling.

Color is the essence of painting, which the subject always killed.

To the Suprematist the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless; the significant thing is feeling, as such, quite apart from the environment in which it is called forth.

Everything which we loved is lost. We are in a desert .... Before us is nothing but a black square on a white background!
