Suprematism

Suprematism was an art movement founded in Russia during the First World War. In 1915, the Russian artists Kseniya Boguslavskaya, Ivan Klyun, Mikhail Menkov, Ivan Puni and Olga Rozanova joined with Kazimir Malevich to form the Suprematist group. Their work feature an array of geometric shapes suspended above a white or light-colored background. The variety of shapes, sizes and angles creates a sense of depth in these compositions, making the squares, circles and rectangles appear to be moving in space. Other Supermatism artists later included Ilya Chashnik and Nikolai Suetin, who were students of Kazimir Malevich.

Red Square and Cross - circa 1928 was painted by Ilya Grigorevich Chashnik (1902, Lucyn, Russian Empire, currently Ludza, Latvia - 1929, Leningrad). He was a suprematist artist, a pupil of Kazimir Malevich and a founding member of the UNOVIS school.

Untitled - Abstract Composition - 1924, Watercolor and Graphite on paper by Nikolai Suetin (Russian: Николай Суетин, 1897 – 1954). He was a Russian Supermatist artist who worked as a graphic artist, a designer, and a ceramics painter. 

In both paintings, these artists push the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo. I mostly enjoyed the painting by Nikolai Suetin, it looked like the skyscrapers in New York City, almost futuristic.
