Kazmir Malevich, Supremacist Composition, Aeroplane Flying, 1915 Experiment with non-objective painting; supremacy in pure feeling in creative art motivated by a pure feeling for formal values  Felt that the shapes exist purely for the sake of emotion in nothing else; he’s composing paintings that are nothing more than abstract arrangements of color and shape in order to create something completely subjective and speaks directly and emotionally to the viewer  There’s no subject matter getting in the way; “supremacy in pure feeling in creative art motivated by a pure feeling for formal values”.  In this composition, he has referenced an outside object; he’s taken an airplane and broken it down into shapes, then rearranged them in an unrecognizable way.

during my first ever survey of western art class, my professor explained the difference between historians and art historians. historians, she said, were interested in old things. art historians, on the other hand, were interested in old things of quality. you don't hang garbage up on the walls of a museum; it has to be substantial and it has to mean something. so here you go; old things, made mostly by dudes long dead, of debatable degrees of quality but always with a constant level of importance. think of this as a deck of flash cards... sans the whole cards part.
