  Kasimir Malevich (1878 - 1935)
Kasimir Malevich founded the 'Suprematist' movement.  Suprematist paintings were strictly abstract - compositions which used geometric shapes and pure colour (i.e. one shape - one colour).  His suprematist paintings are modern, industrial pictures, they reflect a new world order, of machines and technology.
