Aesthete or Suprematist?

Both the "Suprematist" artwork and the "Beguiling of Merlin" have their own unique style of portraying their inner emotions. The "Suprematist" is more abstract and has defined lines and bright colors while the "Beguiling of Merlin" is much more detailed, defined and uses more earthy, emotional colors. The paintings also have different effects on people; when you look at the Aesthetic paintings you see a representation of the Victorian age society. However when you look at Kasimir Malevich's paintings, your mind can explore different ideas on what the painting is really supposed to be representing to you. Suprematism is simple beauty; there are so many possibilities when it comes to the geometric and abstract shapes whereas Aesthetic art only gives one, ordinary meaning. Suprematism is a reaction to Aesthetecism because it is expanding on what Aesthetecism is; and isn't about just one subject in particular. Aesthetecism is a reaction to Victorian morality/hypocrisy because it truly makes you understand the only things people in the Victorian era cared about; beauty, money and being high class.
