Biography:
Kasimir Severinovich Malevich was initially influenced by French Impressionist while studying in Moscow from 1902 to 1905. After moving to Paris in 1912, Malevich switched to Cubism, and formed his own derivation called Suprematism, a more ardent and refined approach to Cubism. The movement received capricious reviews, persuading Malevich to experimenting with Minimalism. He forewent painting for sculpture later in his career and helped to mold the Soviet Constructivist era.
