I guess these are pretty abstract. I painted "Barrel Roll" after stunting in a "Pitts"[I was a passenger]and I painted a series of landscapes over a year that I spent skydiving.[10 jumps].These paintings are 5feet x7feet and don't hang in the MOMA

Well, rexee, I don't think I could paint the landscapes. While they are "abstracty" they still show something I can identify. I have never appreciated abstract art, so tangible things I can see and understand are more pleasing to me.
JohnReid - Malevich didn't quite get along with the new government thinking in the '20s, since abstract art couldn't be used for propaganda purposes, and he apparently died in poverty. He did go back to figurative painting later in life (died 1935).
