Black Square


History

Kasimir Malevich, the 'difficult artist', painted the Black Square in 1913. He used genuine oil on canvas. This seemingly plain artwork has been hailed by many at State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg.

Personal Opinions

From the bottom of my heart, this painting is gloriously simple. What make life so complicated anyway, women? Kasimir is my personal hero. He stepped out of the crowd and created the purest rubbish in the world. The most awesome thing is, he simply threw this crap out the market, sat back and laugh as hardcore art lovers debate and ponder over the infinite depth of his painting.

I have ever created the identical work 15 years ago when I accidentally pressed the 'Copy' button on my grandmother's Xerox machine. Had my grandmother not thrown my work away, I could have been the next Kasimir Malevich, as a 7-year-old prodigy.

Myths and Facts

Myth: "This is a pure abstract painting, the artist's main theme being the internal movements of the personality. The theme has no precise form, and Malevich had to search it out from within the visible expression of what he felt."
Fact: Fools. This is not pure abstract painting, this is pure nothingness.

Conclusion

Malevich is a genius. He draws some shapes, gives them exceedingly simple names, invents a genre called Suprematism, like the Black Square, and his life is set. His critics think he is up to some religious or political agenda so they hail him like a walking prophet.

This is the hottest success story of all times. Malevich scores 10 out of 10 in my pimpmeter.
