Lecture Summary\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week’s lecture covered the time period of 1915 – 1925 which immediately tells us that World War I happened during that time. It influenced\u00a0everything and everybody in the world, including design. A lot of propaganda posters were created to get people to participate in the war and support one’s country. Although it had one of the deadliest outcomes, the world of art and design was changed forever.<\/p>\n

Suprematism<\/strong> is an art movement, focused on basic\u00a0geometric\u00a0forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. This was a completely new concept at the time – completely fascinated artists all over the world. It is also considered to be the beginning of conceptual art.\u00a0The founder of this movement was a Russian artist Kazimir Malevich.<\/p>\n

Examples of Suprematism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kazimir Malevich\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

He is most famous for his painting\u00a0Black Square<\/em>. The name pretty much sums up what the painting looks like, however, there is a lot more meaning behind it. Suprematism focused on the absence of any physical objects, and the Black Square communicated that perfectly.<\/p>\n

Like Malevich explained once,<\/p>\n

“Under Suprematism, I understand the primacy of pure feeling in creative art. 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.”<\/i><\/p>\n

El Lissitzky<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lissitzky was one of the very successful Malevich’s students.\u00a0His work greatly influenced the\u00a0Bauhaus\u00a0and\u00a0constructivist\u00a0movements, and he experimented with production techniques and stylistic devices that would go on to dominate\u00a0the 20th-century graphic design.\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n
