Kazimir Malevich Stages The Last Exhibition of Futurist Painting 0.10 in Petrograd
A seminal moment in art history, this exhibition showcased Malevich’s Black Square, Dynamic Suprematism and other abstract works that rejected traditional representational art, marking the birth of the Suprematist movement. Suprematism’s exultation of pure form and geometry would become fundamental aspects of digital generative art.
