What is the disclosure of secrets “Black Square” for the history of art – BBC

Experts Tretyakov Gallery found the painting by Kazimir Malevich “Black Square” in 1915 painted on canvas, which previously held the two images. In addition, art able to read the author’s inscription on the painting work.

«It is known that under the” Black Square “was some underlying image. We have found that such images are not one, but two.

And to prove that the original image – a kubofuturisticheskogo composition, and lying under the “Black Square”, the color you see in the craquelure – This protosuprematicheskaya composition “, – said the TV channel” Culture “researcher at the Department of scientific expertise TG Ekaterina Voronina.

She also said that together with his colleagues Irina Rustamova and Irina Waqar she managed to decipher the inscription on the” Black Square ” which is considered to be the author.

The inscription reads: “The Battle of Negroes in the dark cave».

This phrase refers to the title of the painting of the French journalist, writer and painter Alphonse Allais “Battle of Negroes in the dark cave late at night, “written in 1882 and is a completely black rectangle.

« Malevich complicated intricate writing and some letters are written the same way: “n”, “n” and even “and” in some texts very close to writing. We are working on the second word. But the fact that the first word of the “Battle”, you can see in the exhibition “, – explained Voronin.

« Black Square “- the mythological work of art of the XX century. His interpretations are legion. Certainly one thing: the picture is perceived as an aesthetic manifesto of a generation of artists and as a symbol of the most important aesthetic era.

Malevich himself questions about the significance and meaning of the “square” in charge of what is called, evasively . He said he did not expect such an effect, and it is not clear understand that all this might mean.

Some researchers these words prompted the idea of ​​the supernatural, mystical origins of the scenic character.

However, it is believed that the first image appeared in a black square of Malevich in 1913, scenery designs for the Futurist opera staged by Mikhail and Alexey Kruchenykh Matyushina “Victory over the Sun”. In 1915 the square was presented as a finished art-piece in a number of other geometrical works, which, in general, marked the emergence of a new artistic direction – Suprematism.

The works were first published in the futuristic exhibition “0, 10″ which opened in St. Petersburg December 19, 1915.

Suprematist paintings of Malevich took there a separate room, and the “Black Square” hung in the so-called red corner – the location of the room, where Russian icons kept cottages.

The last fact was many critics and journalists perceived as a challenge and undermine the moral foundations. Subsequently, many skeptics have tried to explain the “black box” pragmatically – that the artist wrote something on the canvas is not defined, and it is painted over the image as it appeared at that time come to mind.

This bold hypothesis , however, contradicted by the fact that Malevich repeatedly made copyrights repetition “square”. Today, we know of four repetitions, two are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, one – in the Russian Museum, another – in the Hermitage.

So, apparently, the current discovery of art from GTG important for the history of a masterpiece Malevich but even it adds nothing to our understanding or misunderstanding of the picture. Is that the line

author’s reference to the French humorist Alphonse Allais discovered on the canvas in 1915, lets take the whole project Malevich with greater ease.

The name Alla, of course, in connection with Malevich sounded before. His four years of work 1882-1883, which are blue, black, white and red boxes with names like “First Communion anemic girls in the snow,” were shown at the exhibitions “untethered art.” In connection with Malevich it’s often remembered, but it was not clear how naughty French idea refers to the monumental character of the new Russian art. Now, apparently, it is possible to perceive the quest Russian avant-garde, in particular, and in response to the French stuff.
