Answer and Explanation:

Kazimir Malevich

Suprematist painting owes its birth, existence, development, theoretical justification, "promotion to the masses," and even speculative-space perspectives to a single person, Kazimir Malevich. Suprematist art was meant as a direct escape from the real world into a freedom found within the basic geometry of the paintings. Malevich described this as “pure feeling or perception in the pictorial arts.” Suprematism drew upon influences found in literary criticism and in avant garde poetry.
