Hi Dan. I am not an art expert, but I must say that I liked the painting of Malevich. I searched something out and found this --

Quote:
Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935), who founded what he called Suprematism, believed in an extreme of reduction: ``The object in itself is meaningless... the ideas of the conscious mind are worthless''. What he wanted was a non-objective representation, ``the supremacy of pure feeling.'' This can sound convincing until one asks what it actually means.
True it is an extreme reduction, as most art is extreme. I refrain myself from seeing any view of a known aeroplane, it is a probably just the feeling of speed ..... I think in the flesh, it will look better.

It is funny that when you search it on the internet, all of a sudden hundreds of pictures of this painting of Malevich come out.

Have a good day

Kees
