The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- There are four painted versions, the first of which was completed in 1915 and described by the artist as his breakthrough work and the inception of his Suprematist art movement.
- In his manifesto for the Suprematist movement, Malevich stated that the paintings were intended as "a desperate struggle to free art from the ballast of the objective world" by focusing solely on form.
- He sought to create paintings that all could understand, and that would have an emotional impact comparable to religious works.
