Icon of modernism. The black square. Hommage to Malewitsch

When Kasimir Malevich first showed his Black Square at The Last Futurist Exhibition 0.10 in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in December 1915, the artist himself must have felt the need for a theoretical interpretation of this founding work of geometric abstract painting, as from then on he repeatedly provided new definitions and explanations for this “icon of the new art”, as he himself described it:

“When, in the year 1913, in my desperate attempt to free art from the ballast of objectivity, I took refuge in the square form and exhibited a picture which consisted of nothing more than a black square on a white field... This was no empty square which I had exhibited but rather the feeling of non-objectivity....

The square = feeling
The white field = the void beyond this feeling.”
