Wonderful video, save two things: 1. To situate black square in constructivism is to discredit Malevich’s intention of it being part of his own movement, Suprematism; 2. See Alexandra Shatskikh’s book on the Black Square which interrogates the idea that the “10” came from the fact that there were 10 artists.
What a beautiful narrative. I am very glad to see all those brazilian artists influenced by Malevich such as Oiticica and Lygia Clark, both still powerfull, reverberating and influencing the new generation of artists.
Thanks for your lovely comment. It's so great to help expose how abstraction ricocheted across the world! Keep watching for more interconnected Art Histories. All best, the HENI Talks team
Funny,isn't? I was just browsing through Boris Pasternack Selected Poems and I ended here searching Kazimir Malevich "Black Square". Zero to Infinity Infinity to zero. L'Etre et Le Néant From a drop of mixed substances An Ego A Demon An Angel Back to Soil and Earth Eternal Copulation..
Calm down. Its a canvas that's painted black, containing not even the bare minimum of work for the sake of shock value. It's not sophisticated, as these snob critics and historians make it to be. No wonder art is as irrelevant as ever.
How i wish Michelangelo is still alive so he can criticize these type of art and people would listen. These days there are too many try hards and want to be "sophisticated" that destroys the art world.
This is not universal. The whole explanation of this thing lies in the opposition to a very vast culture. If it was universal there wouldn't be a reason for the video. It's just a square as any person with a ruler would draw, nothing special or worth of seeing by anyone whatsoever; and also, it is not participatory, because it excludes not only the viewer to any possible sense or reason, but also excludes a whole culture in favor of a great piece of nothing. In popular terms, meaningless means stupid, but for this kind of mentality meaningless means something worth of talking about and spending money.

If you squint enough, there may be some shapes popping out from an unassuming square.
المربع الاسود 🔳 بكل بساطة وسهولة يعني البعد الروحي .
البصيرة هي ما يدركة العقل و تجهله العين.
