Yop! Yan! In just a few hours the New Year will come. And this is the last release this year. 2018 was saturated. But how was it?
Understood how love works, captured a short film about how a human body works, talked with Alice alive,
blew your brain with the most difficult issue about symmetry, captured the issue in the Hermitage. Topless in the Hermitage, my God.
Rode a drone in Moscow without driver's hands. And of course, plunged into the world of cybercrime that was invisible to the common user.
I learned a lot and shared it with you. But before I start this release, I want to plunge into total darkness. And as you asked,
I will tell you why abstract art is so expensive. For example, the "black square" of the great Kazimir Malevich.
We are with you in the old church. Right in the center of Moscow. Why not in a museum? Because museums are not suitable for this issue.
In them, paintings by Malevich look simply like geometric shapes on the wall. Although for the artist himself it was a new religion
that should replace the old world. Malevich is not the first who painted black on the canvas. Here is the great darkness of Robert Flood,
which he wrote in 1617 Over 300 years before Malevich. It depicts biblical chaos. Here is the blacks night fight in the basement in 1882
Battle of the Negroes in a cave in the middle of the night 1893. And even the twilight history of Russia. So what is Malevich's originality?
In the absence of the plot. In the "great darkness" there is religious overtones,
and the rest are just jokes and fun. But Malevich was not a prankster. His canvas is called what is - a black square.
He created it not because he could not draw, as many people still think. Especially for you here are his other paintings.
In the style of impressionism. And portraits. As an artist, he had good technique. And he deliberately refused it.
This is actually a big sacrifice for the artist. And this is the first thing that makes the picture so expensive.
2 factor- time of writing a black square. In the 20th century, the revolution was everywhere.
In physics, Einstein came, in psychology Sigmund Freud, to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
Without a twinge of conscience, they destroyed the old ideals and built new ones. In art, too, a revolution was brewing.
In 1913, the first All- Russian Congress of Futurists was held. At which only 3 people met.
Composer Mikhail Matyushin, Kazimir Malevich and poet Alexei Kruchenov. They even invented their own term.
“Budetlyane” from the word “budu” (rus=will). Check out the joke? The future is from the word "futurists."
Their goal was to demolish the unfit art and create a new one in its place. And they were not joking.
The first thing they did was their own opera "Victory Over the Sun". Matyushin wrote music with noise and sounds in the street,
and Kruchenov wrote a text written in his own language - “zaum”. Malevich invented the scenery –
costumes and decorated the curtain with a half black square on a white background. This is how “Suprematism” was born.
Art, which by all means tries to escape from nature. Just listen.
(This is the real sound from the opera). (It seems his task is to cause emotions of irritation).
Yes, I will not torture you anymore. It really feels like a badtrip after vodka.
After 2 years, the first exhibition of Suprematism was held, which was called “0-10”. On the night before the opening, Malevich did not sleep.
He personally hung 39 paintings and did not want anyone to see them. He wanted to crush the viewer. And he succeeded.
When they entered the hall, they saw it. No portraits, no landscapes. Only rectangles, circles and other geometry. And in the corner, near the ceiling,
where the icon is usually hung, the "Black square". Now the place of the sacred image was taken by absolute irrelevance.Black emptiness,
it was like a strike to the eggs of the state, because it then loved such artists as Vasnetsov.
He has "Three heroes", and "Ivan Tsarevich", and "the Prophetic Oleg." In general, everything is originally Russian,
so that the “wood-goblin” wouldn't let it into the forest. And what else is there ... And the wolves sent home.
Malevich has completely different plots. Before the fall of the tsarist autocracy in Russia and the revolution of 1917,
a little more than a year remained. What's next? What people expect in the future. After all, the time of change is coming.
Nobody could say that. Uncertainty, blackness. From the red corner at Malevich’s exhibition, the future itself looked at people.
Malevich was an actionist. Like Marina Abramovich or even Pavlensky. His black square was a performance. A kind of prediction.
What could be beyond the black square? Noting, finish. This is a fat dot, just nothing to destroy further.
This was the innovation of the artist. The time of writing and the events in the world that he reflected in his picture.
This is another plus to the cost. The theme of the black square did not release Malevich. With this image he could not give up.
It was his pinnacle of creativity and he returned to her and every time in search of inspiration. He wrote as many as 3 black squares.
. "For a long time I could neither eat nor sleep, and I myself did not understand what I did", he said.
Pure black is almost never found in nature. Black is the absence of light. Thus Malevich came out in 0 forms.
Started art with a black sheet.
This is similar to the story of the Norwegian artist Edward Munk. He constantly created copies of his painting “Scream”, because he valued it the most.
He wrote many versions of the picture. There are even such. And such. And such. Today it is the most expensive Munk's canvas.
And one of the most expensive paintings in general. The same with the black square.
The choice of the artist himself makes the picture more expensive. The next factor is the fate of the artist.
Since the 1930s, Malevich and the state have had very tense relations. The authorities wanted realistic images,
but the artist’s paintings didn’t correspond to this. He was arrested twice on charges of anti-government activities,
en protest notes were sent to the USSR government. Release Malevich! For the people! Complained both foreigners and locals.
For the 1932 exhibition, Malevich, despite the fact that he was required to realistic paintings,
writes the last fourth version of the square. But when exactly did he write it? We probably will never know.
On all the canvases, he did not put the date of writing the picture, but the time when an idea came to him.
e first black square is dated 1913, and was written in 1915 The idea for the author was much more important than
its actual implementation. But last, the black square took part in the legendary master's show – his funeral.
At the civil funeral in Leningrad at the head of the coffin on the wall a black square hung.
The artist's body was covered with white canvas. With a black square sewn on it.
Black square was on the roof of the coffin from the side of the head. He was carried in a truck with a black square on the hood.
And that is not all. A black square was drawn on the carriage carrying Malevich’s body to Moscow,
and also installed on the stands of the Donskoy Monastery during the requiem.
Over the grave of the artist a white wooden cube with a black square was placed. According to the will,
Malevich was buried not in the cemetery, but in the forest. Thus he returned to the original idea of creation and creativity -
to nature itself. Now you understand why a black square is so expensive. He became a legend. And legends have no price.
Malevich created a new religion, called on people to abandon the old faith. Look at the world differently.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the old world and the old religion collapsed as well.
Propaganda talked about a bright future in which everyone will be equal and happy. But what kind of future did people see in the 20th century.
Hunger, war, the prophecy of the nuclear apocalypse after the explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The boundless blackness and uncertainty of space. Malevich's black square in this context turned out to be a prophecy.
It became a symbol of a new religion in which there was no place for God. When you stare at the abyss for a long time,
it begins to peer at you. So it happened with a black square. It was not the people who looked at the picture,
it was the picture who looked at them in the face of the entire 20th century. We do not accidentally capture this video in this beautiful church.
For a long time in Moscow it was considered a symbol of the old faith, which Malevich wanted to change.
In Soviet times, all religious paraphernalia was removed from here and the "Melody" recording studio was placed.
Here all the hits of the 70s, 80s, Alla Pugacheva were made. Thus, religion gave way to art for a while.
I think Malevich would have liked it.
When you watch this release here Christmas works have already been celebrated.
This is a Protestant church. And they have Christmas on December 25th. And they give gifts a little earlier.
You have probably already bought gifts for your loved ones, and about yourself, like me, have probably forgotten.
The best gift for loved ones and yourself in the first place is a useful and versatile thing. Look at these photos,
they were made on the new Samsung Galaxy A9 and just created for this. This is the very universal and useful thing.
This is a smartphone that is designed specifically for millenials, who appreciate a laconic design
and constantly take pictures and perceive it as content for this, the A9 has 4, FOUR!, cameras with different focal lengths.
First- wide. With a viewing angle like a human eye. The second camera with a double optical zoom.
That's what she is capable of. Third, the main. With a resolution of 24 megapixels. It best copes with shooting in the dark.
The fourth camera - portrait. For bright photos with soft bokeh. Such a variety of cameras makes the phone versatile.
Front-facing camera, as you know, is also not simple. Able to imitate studio light and shoot a wide selfie. This is generally a bomb.
And now a brilliant move. Finally, the phone was created for those who do not have the opportunity to buy a flagship every year,
but they are not ready to sacrifice photo quality because of this. Give your close ones and yourself the best gifts.
I want to say a big thank you to the guys from Artifex who helped me with this release and personally to Kolya Zharinov, who tells the best about art in Russia.
Yeah, hi! We chose not to choose life, we chose art. We tell about literature, painting, music, sculpture, street art.
And soon we will talk about cartoons and history. Come necessarily, look about Vrubel.
Dude at some point turned the whole game in art and was not worse than Malevich.
All links will be in the description, you will not regret. Come in there.
- Goodbye.
