Black square - Kazimir Malevich
This very famous painting has been painted by Kazimir Malevich. He was an Ukrainian-Russian art theorist and artist who was also on the leadership of Russian avant-garde. His style was suprematism. This circles, squares and triangles using tecnique can be clearly seen in his paintings.
This work of art is one of the world-widely known Malevich’s Black Squares. The painting is thought to be painted in the end of 1920’s or in the early 1930’s but there is not exact information when it has been painted. Out of the four known Black squares it is the last that has been painted. It is a dark square painted with oil on canvas. If the limits were expanded, the dark theme would propably stay the same but the painting gives a change for a viewer to image if there is something more.
I chose this art piece because it has always interested me. When I first heard about it I just thought how crazy art can actually be and still speak to people. I wouldn’t even be suprized if this was only one painting but the amount of them and how various (thinking they are black squares) and expensive they are is unbelievable.
This painting doesn’t seem to have a very clear message. It leaves the whole interpretation for a person to think by oneself. For me it shows that art can be very simple and at the same time - depend the point of view it is seen - meaningful and close, scary or other way just fascinating.
