Etymology
Suprematism comes from supreme meaning 'highest' and the ending -ism meaning 'a belief or movement'. Russian artist Kazimir Malevich used this name to show that simple geometric shapes and pure feeling should be most important in art, so suprematism means an art movement that puts basic shapes above pictures of real things.
