I could have done that. Yes, but you didn't Drawing

Kazimir Malevich's “Black Square” is the most recognizable symbol of the Russian avant-garde art school. The painting has given rise to a multitude of interpretations, arguments, and legends. Kazimir Malevich painted “The Black Suprematist Square” in 1915, in the heat of World War I, but he first conceived the idea 2 years ago in 1913. Initially, “The Black Square” was not intended to have any symbolic meaning: its purpose was to solve artistic problems. However, as is often the case with masterpieces, the painting spurred a multitude of interpretations and even provoked skeptical remarks, such as "So, this is also art? Even I could paint a square!" In reality, “The Black Square” is a very complex painting; painting it required very solid knowledge of colors, composition, and artistic proportions. To begin with, “The Black Square”is not a square. None of its sides are parallel to the frame. Besides, it is made of mixed colors, none of which is black. If you look closer, you will see that the paint has cracked over time, creating an intricate network of line which some assert represents a running buffalo. One urban myth has it that “The Black Square” came to be by accident: a major futuristic exhibition was fast approaching at which Malevich and his fellow artists had a huge hall reserved for their works. On learning that there would be a lot of wall space to fill up, the artists urgently began creating more works. Malevich couldn't get his one going, so simply painted the canvas over. Malevich himself used to say that he had created “The Black Square” in a mystical trance, under the influence of a "cosmic consciousness" experience. He even accentuated this by making sure that at the exhibition, the picture was hanging to the right of the entrance, the place reserved to Christian icons in accordance with the Russian tradition. Alexander Benois, an art critic and himself an artist, immediately noticed this. "That is undoubtedly the icon that Messrs Futurists oppose to the Madonna." Would you be willing to learn all about the Russian Avanguard before judging? Would you be willing to learn all about you should know before judging anything?
