Painting is long out of date and the painter himself is a prejudice of the past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suprematism, as Malevich defines it, is the ultimate stage of a completely new art. In 1918, the artist created White Square on a White Background as a destruction of what had gone before. The work, which is the latest to be conserved in the Centre Pompidou, is very close to the original version of Black Square.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to several sources, two other pictures were painted by Kasimir Malevitch behind the Black Square on a White Background. Scientists believe that the first work behind the Black Square is a cubo-futurist composition, while the second, hidden between the first painting and the Black Square, is more akin to a proto-suprematist composition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June, abstract art is in the spotlight on Museum TV.
