Black Square by Kazimir Malevich from 1915

"Black Square"
Kazimir Malevich 1915
(PIcture I)

One of the most well-known avant-garde masterpieces is "Black Square", what is painted by Kazimir Malevich, and the year was 1915. This painting has caused the joke, where one man tells to another, how to create millions of dollars. The answer is simple, just paint a black square on the paper, and the masterpiece is done. But in the Malevich case, the idea of the "Black Square" painting is that it's not actually portraying black square at all. Or here I'm trying to say, that this square is not actually totally black. There is a form of the cross hiding in the grey or brighter points, what Malevich created in the area of the black square, what actually looks like the burned, or formed by burned paper, what is put inside the layers of varnish. But as we know, Malevich claimed, that he painted that painting. Or actually, people say, that this painting has been painted by Malevich, and I don't know, what techniques he used while he have made this painting.

The painting is very expensive, and it's claimed to be a masterpiece of the Russian avant-garde. But when we are starting to think about this painting, we must think, that Kazimir Malevich was the good painter. He made excellently but at the same time very radical painter, whose ideas are not seen very clearly by the audience, who don't ever seen the paintings, what this man, who shows excellent way to make his forms have been painted. And in this might be the very important thing in the art, what seems to be shown anything, but those forms are in the tape are painted very clear and sharp, and this thing tells, that they are made on purpose.


When I'm thinking about "Black square" I must think, that could Malevich try to make the surface, what could be so dark, that there would be no reflection, and that means that this kind of painting could be  dangerous, because if there is no reflection, the painting could start to burn. The rising temperature, what causes because electromagnetic radiation would be stored in that surface, and the rising temperature will make the painting burn. Also if in the colors would have iron crystals, the rounding electromagnetic field could cause that the iron bites start to create heat, and maybe that is the reason, why Malevich painted that cross the area, what is painted black. But who knows, what Malevich has been thought when he painted this kind of paintings. And was this artist realized, what he has been done.
