Reconsideration

Left: image of a painting of a red square on white canvas. Right: "peasant women confined to certain life & opportunities →	confines of a square; reminiscent of a hurricane flag →	something more powerful and dangerous lies beneath the surface?; painting is revolutionary → defies expectations observers hold for fine art, especially in 1915; title seems more complicated than painting, but painting may prove more difficult to replicate than first glance."
Left: Red Square: Painterly Realism of a Peasant Woman in Two Dimensions, by Kazmir Malevich, c. 1915. Lapham’s Quarterly: Revolutions, Volume VII, Number 2, Spring 2014, p. 139.
Right: Notes and observations on the image from my red notebook: “peasant women confined to certain life and opportunities –> confines of square; reminiscent of hurricane flag –> something more powerful and dangerous lies beneath the surface?; painting is revolutionary –> defies expectations observers hold for fine art, especially in 1915; title seems more complicated than painting, but painting may prove more difficult to replicate than first glance.”
