Μαύρο ορθογώνιο is a 1915 by Kazimir Malevich, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
The painting shows a simple black rectangle on a white background. It's a geometric shape with clean lines and no extra details. This artwork is interesting because it's one of the first examples of a new way of thinking about art, where the focus is on basic shapes and colors. To learn more about the methods used to create this kind of art, look up the technique: cross-hatching, stippling.
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (23 February 1879 – 15 May 1935) was a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, whose work and writings pioneered the development of abstract painting in the 20th century.
