An “international style” was born as a result of complex debate on form and style within the avant-garde movement in the early decades of the 20th century.
The new style was based on Kazimir Malevich's concept of art and creativity, the reality being not the object to be depicted but the thing to be re-created and transformed. He used elementary geometric forms and a very limited range of painting techniques. After centuries of refining and semantic sophistication artistic form, in Malevich's interpretation, was back to its origin . His artistic form has no object, function or meaning related to ethnic, local or personal aspects of culture. Art is an international means of communication, a form of global language, in his view. Thus, thanks to Malevich, a notion of style was broadened to denote a model to construct a system of painting. To this day, his views underlie the propaedeutics in all branches of three-dimensional art .
