From "introduction to the Theory of the Additional Element in Painting"
I call the additional element of Suprematism "the suprematist straight line"
(dynamic in character). The environment corresponding to this new culture
has been produced by the latest achievements of technology,
and especially of aviation, so that one could also refer to Suprematism
as "aeronautical".
The culture of Suprematism can manifest itself in two different ways,
namely, as dynamic Suprematism of the plane
(with the additional element of the "suprematist straight line")
or as static Suprematism in space-abstract color
(with the additional element of the "suprematist square").
The elements of the city, which the painter has assimilated,
disappear in the provinces, just as an illness contracted in the city
is overcome in a sanitarium in the country.
