The White Box
A correspondence with Suprematism – A white and simple geometrical representation. A white box: pure and noble imagery, representing a fundamental and utopian life. Internal feeling and obsession pushed me to document this object, without an answer why or what this form depicted for me.
From Cubism and Futurism to Suprematism: The New Realism in Painting / Kazimir Malevich (1915)
The artist should now know what, and why, things happen in his pictures. Formerly he lived by some kind of mood. He awaited the rising of the moon, twilight, put green shades on his lamps, and this all attuned his mood like a violin.
But when asked why this face was crooked, or green, he could not give an exact answer… Consequently the intuitive feeling did not speak clearly… The picture was half real, half deformed.
