You could look into the following artists that come most readily to mind:

Robert Ryman  <-- has spent his entire career painting only with white paint

Yves Klien   <--- painted a whole series of paintings with a special 
blue he named after himself

Agnes Martin   <---- so called grid paintings

This essay is fairly typical of how art history is presented.  Malevich 
is not specifically mentioned but Mondrian is close enough.
