History
Malevich painted his first Black Square in 1915.

This painting is commonly known as Black Square, Black Square, or as Malevich's Black Square. It was first shown in The Last Futurist Exhibition 0.10 in 1915.

Historical context
A number of art historians, curators, and critics refer to Black Square as one of the modern artworks, and abstract art in the tradition of Western painters in general.
Malevich claimed the square was a work of Suprematism, a movement he claimed to be associated almost exclusively with Malevich and his student Lissitzky today. This movement did have a handful of supporters among the Russian vanguard but it was dwarfed by the constructivism of his siblings whose manifesto was more harmonious with the ideological sentiments of the revolutionary communist government during the early days of the Soviet Union. Suprematism can be understood as a transitional phase in the evolution of Russian art, bridging the evolutionary gap between futurism and constructivism.
The appearance of the larger and more universal leap represented by the painting, is the pause between representational painting and abstract painting - a complex transition with which the Black Square has been identified and which has become one of the key abbreviations , touchstones or symbols.
Perception
This work is often used by critics, historians, curators, and artists as the "zero point of painting", referring to the historical significance of the painting as a paraphrase of a number of comments made by Malevich about The Black Square in a letter to colleagues and dealers.
Malevich has made some comments about his paintings.
- "From zero, zero, that the actual movement started."
- "I am transforming myself in zero and emerging from nothingness in creation, that is, for Suprematism, to new realism in painting - to non-objective creation."
- "[Black Square is meant to evoke] a purely non-objectivity experience in the white void of what is liberated."
Peter Schjeldahl menulis:
"The brush strokes are watery and rough: fill the shape, fussy with the edges, but the shape is not weighty, more like a thought than like a picture You do not see so many pictures as launching yourself into empyrean without a trace, clear design talent, Malevich is monumental not for what he puts into the picture space but for what he takes: the body experience, the basic theme of Western art since the Renaissance.The appeal to Americans is 'Not surprisingly' Apart from the typical Russian mystical tradition, which he excavates - evokes the iconic short spell, as a channel for the divine - his works are the same as the cosmic "Song of the Open Road", soaring, unenlightened possibilities, these qualities seem to be in harmony with the 1917 Revolution. Not that - by Malevich, first by its rivals in the Russian avant-garde and later, convincingly, by the regime of Joseph Stalin. "
Preservation
The neglect and humiliation of the Soviet government that guarded the original Black Square has remained for decades producing a very degrading painting.
Peter Schjeldahl menulis:
"The painting looked horrible: crunching, scratching, and discolored, as if it had been spent the last eighty-eight years to patch up the damaged window.In fact, most of the time passed deep inside the Soviet archives, ranked among the lowest of the treasures Malevich, like other members of the avant-garde era of the Russian Revolution, was thrown into oblivion under Stalin.The ax fell to him in 1930. Accused of "formalism", he was interrogated and imprisoned for two months. "
Contemporary Discovery
In 2015, when viewing Black Square with a microscope, the art historian at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Russia found a message under his black paint. It is believed to be read as "The Negro Battle in a dark cave."
The reference is related to a comic by 1897 by the French writer Alphonse Allais with the title: "Tempur de NÃÆ'¨gres dans une cave pendant la nuit" or "Negroes Fighting in a Cellar at Night." Researchers at the State Tretyakov Gallery speculate that Malevich was responding to a racist joke in Allais's popular work.
