Kazimir Malevich "Supremus no 56" (1916)

Kazimir Malevich "Supremus No56" 

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In this painting is important the way, how to see those lines, what Malevich has been drawn on this painting, and find the combination what makes the structure in the painting. Sometimes I have thought that how Malevich created those paintings, and how he told that they were the things, what people would want to buy. In fact, there are many things, what makes this kind of paintings very interesting, and one of them is, that there are many things, what has been left to the audience.

And one thing is, how the artist convicts that there is something except sharp and also carefully thought combination of lines and other geometrical structures. But when we are looking the abstract paintings, there would be the things, what limits our imagination. One of them is the combination of our experiences about the instruments, what are used in scientific laboratories around the world.

The thing in "Supremus no 56" is that the painting can portrait the laser, the microscope or very special tool, what shoots viruses in the cell. That system was created in the 1980's for genetic engineers, and its purpose is to shoot cells inside other cells, what makes possible to connect those cells. In the beginning, that system used the gunpowder, but then the engineers started to create ion cannon, what would shoot ionized DNA molecule straight in the nucleus of the cell. The ion cannon would also give the ability to control the power of the punch, what this system gives to the target.

That allows creating more living cells because targets would survive about the genome transfer. The thing in the ion technology is that the same systems, what shoots DNA in the other cells, would be used for creating nanomachines and nanotechnical microchips. Those microchips can consist the transistors, what size are three atoms. As I wrote before. That technology would revolutionize the microchip production and allows to make smaller microchips than ever before.

Black Square by Kazimir Malevich from 1915

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.

Painting "Zhertva" from the hand of the artist Galina Solotomina

"Zhertva" Galina Solotonina, 1973

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The Soviet painting "Zhertva" ("Sacrifice") by Galina Solotonina from the year 1973 is one very interesting picture because even if it the artist's self-portrait, there is painted the character, what can be woman or man, and that character seems to play chess in the candlelight, and character is portrayed in the point of view of the opponent player. This painting is a typical Soviet art, and that means it's technically very impressive, and the thing, what this painting would want to say, is something, what we cannot expect. That painting has the very strong message, and it's that ever underestimate your opponents. The person who might sit next to you can be actually something, what you cannot ever think about.

Even if you would see the old lady, who have ever played chess before, there could be the trap, because the gaming situation can be under the surveillance, and that person can follow the orders, what is given for that person by using radio-transmitters, and the game can be followed by cameras. Then that real player who would tell, how to move chess pieces. Or there could be all the team of those chess players for giving support for that player. Also is possible that this woman is secretly the Chessmaster. Maybe she has played before acting male player.

Or she has been trained by the Soviet chess organization secretly and then put to some big game for humiliating other players. In those cases, the plan would be that the propaganda officials would want to show, that Western players cannot win even the beginner. And that's why this lady has been brought to that chess game. If that planning would work, the other side would seem like idiota, because the lady, who have ever played chess before can win those other players. The message of this picture is that people must play their game until it ends, and nothing has been won until the other side king have been fallen.

In this painting have been captured the purpose of the Soviet people. They should serve the government. And in that country, the thing, what people must remember, was that everybody can be secret police official. Everything in the world may have purposes, what people don't even think, that they could have. In the Soviet Union.

Everything had political purposes, that meant, that there could be strange events in the most common things and one of the most remarkable things in that kind of political system is, that if some person would cause disappointment could send that person straight to prison. Chess was one thing what was important in the Soviet propaganda.

The system used also in the choosing the persons, who have the good strategical angle of view in the military command system. And once one man, named Ilya Ivanov created the idea of eugenics. In that program, the chess system would be used to making pairs with the top level chess players, who could also be very intelligent. This man had the dubious publicity by cutting dogs heads off and keeping the head alive by using cardiac lung machine, what helped to increase the lifetime of those removed heads. And this man could create the idea, that the chess system would be used for choosing extreme intelligent for the parents of the elite Soviet youngsters. But this is only the thinking about this kind of things, what might have a big role in somebody's life.
