Mondrian
Progression of Mondrian's style: moves away from detail to pixelated images.
Picasso add Brach completely removed colours
Exploring what it is to be a painter - using cubism as his main influence
From 1st-2nd primary colours are removed and it looks more cubist
3rd is a composition of trees
He's looking at what it is that makes a picture
What parts of the composition of the picture do we need to have the image still exist
No colours just shapes
Most broken down - more Picasso/Brach style
Composition VI:
Comp. 2 in red
First look at red then down to blue and around the painting
The artist makes the audience look at the whole painting
He got rid of everything except composition
Others got rid of realism to focus on colour and light. Picasso and Brach got rid of colour texture and perspective to focus on shape. Mondrian got rid of everything but the composition and still gives us art
Only rectangular shapes
Completely flat texture
Only primary colours
No subject matter
Can you have a successful artwork with nothing but the paint ?
Suprematism with 8 rectangles
8 randomly placed red/orange rectangle shapes that are different sizes
Looks like a collage
Symbolises the progression of Russian society
Red - communism
Upwards growth in shapes - development
Not perpendicular - top right corner too big
Almost the same idea as above artwork
Upward to the right symbolising development
Red - communist Russia
Two artists are showing similar paintings but communicating different ideas. One is painting simply to break down the art to be simply the composition without meaning whereas the other represents political ideas of progression in Russian communist society.
Suprematism with 8 rectangles
There is 8 red rectangles on white.
Not parallel, nor even
No perspective
Symbolically: growth, development, heading up, progress.
Red: communism. Every day people that have the control. Simplified
Red square: not equal. Little bit skewed. Every day common person - progress. Russian society.

Suprematism
They are different sizes
All same colour
Only objects in the photo
Facing up the same way

That was micky^
Suprematism
Communicating the idea of Liberty and value which is displayed in a style of himself
Red Square, Realism in paint of a peasant woman in two dimensions
Kasimir Malevich
Oil on canvas
1915
The 'red square' is not a square because it is uneven
The so called share seems to have stretched towards the right corner
The symbol of everyday common person and them people part of progress, the recognition of people's values
Burgundy background
The focus of the red which leads to the top right corner then moving the eye towards the background
The composition allows the human eye to go back and forth of the artwork
Suprematism (with eight rectangles)
Kasimir Malevich
Oil on canvas
1915
There's eight quadrilaterals not necessarily rectangles because the shapes do not consist of 90 degree angles at each corner of one shape
The shapes have a red colour
With a ashy white background
They all seem to be slanted, positioned diagonal, heading toward the right corner
There is no sense of perspective
None of these shapes are touching
The idea of growth/development
The symbol of progress, the idea of common man having control
LUCY PARK
Suprematism, off white background with 8 reddish quadrilaterals, not parallel facing same direction, all different sizes and shapes, not touching. No perspective flat. It doesn't represent anything in nature. Heading upwards, symbol of progress. Communism symbolism for red. Symbol of red, everyone equal, the common man has control. Simplified symbols.
Red quadrilateral, with off white background, NOT PERPENDICULAR, skewed. Upwards and to the right - progress. Red symbolic of common person, Russian society becoming better as the common peasant being listened to. Did not really happen but that was the original intention. Focus on the red square, goes to top right corner. Huge difference between Mondrian and Malevich, very similar but difference in symbolism and representation. Malevich deliquarian approach political/cultural message, Mondrian is asking what makes a painting a painting.
Go deeper than the surface see the subtext. You can't understand by just the picture you need to know their context.

Composition 2 red, blue and yellow
Progression of his style
Not a tree
Oil paint
The red it the focus
Then the blue and yellow
He wants the viewers to move and observe like he does with his artworks
Used composition as a tool
Has the base colours and basic shapes with 90 degrees
Smooth and flat/ no texture
Philosophical step
No subject matter
About Art
Composition number 6
Tree
Know the artist's history
He has a small trace with nature
Composition Trees
Still painting trees
Cubism influenced
'composition' based on trees
"What makes it a picture to still exist?"
He got rid of colours and used more on shapes and geometry.
More like a cubist painting
Simplifying
Using cubism as his main influence
He painted it when he was an adolescent.
The colours were too bright
Primary colours such as blue, yellow, black, red
The tree looks realistic
suprematism
Kasimir Malevich
Russian artist
Suprematism with 8 rectangles
Red rectangles
All in different lengths and size
Looks like material on a paper
All going to the same direction
Our motion
Growth and development
A progress
Colour represent: Communism
To symbolism the common people of Russia by making a better place
