Suprematist composition

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid (Spain).

From the Vitebsk trinity of avant-gardists, Malewicz-Suetin-Chashnik, the latter one preferred the architectural form more than others, also purposefully created suprematist compositions that conveyed the feeling of flying at a decent height. The collection of the Madrid Museum contains one of the best things of the author in terms of the dynamics – a nearly three-dimensional architecton floating in impenetrable blackness, including white and red lines and a single horizontal blue line. The idea did not leave Ilya Chashnik, and he created a similar Suprematist composition with pencil and watercolor in 1925.
