Malevich painted his first "Black Square" in 1915. He made four variants, of which the last is thought to have been painted during the late 1920s or early 1930s, despite the author's "1913" inscription on the reverse. The painting is commonly known as "Black Square", "The Black Square" or as "Malevich's Black Square." It was first shown in The Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10 in 1915.
