Cubism
is "the art of painting new compositions by means of elements taken
from atainable - rather than visual - reality." (G. Apollinaire)
. Suprematism
represents a logical continuation of Cubism in its striving to give substance
to the new non-objective cosmic concept of a spatially integrated world
and its structural unity. "I have destroyed the ring of the horizon
and stepped out of the circle of things " (Malevich). The constructivists
in 1920 regarded Suprematism as an intermediate stage on the way to Constructivism,
which derived much of its treatment of space from Malevich's system. Constructivism
is the organisation of the given material on the principles of tectonics,
structure and construction, the form being defined in the process of creation
by the utilitarian aim of the object. (LEF, 1923)

Zhadova - Malevich, suprematism and revolution in russian art, 1910-1930.
"The concept of Constructivism
arose from Russia. It is applied to an art that utilizes modern structural
components instead ofthe usual materials, and pursues constructional aims..."(
