SUPREMATISM by Ramón Singley

What of art and the non-objective, which is to say we should peer into art works, whether a sketch or painted canvas, with a feeling of sensibility into the non verbal message, the rhythm, the underlining tonal value and line quality. We should say these things with regards to Kasimir Malevich’s notes on Suprematism. To Malevich, the ultimate feeling of Suprematism is a level of consciousness attained by few. To maintain an inclination for accessing a piece of art and the feeling evoked in the visual phenomena of our brain, this is the ultimate in the conceptualization of art; this is the materialization of the reflection of truth. The true value of art is the value expressed by the art; there’s no hidden agenda, simply a voice from within a safe place.
“…an objective representation, having objectivity as its aim, is something which, as such, has nothing to do with art, and yet the use of objective forms in an art work does not preclude the possibility of its being of high artistic value,” Malevich says. A feeling one receives when looking at art is the emotional component and deciding factor, which gives the art an embodiment of what we have come to learn as Suprematism.

“The emotions kindled in the human being are stronger than the human being himself.”

These same sentiments should reflect ones emotion when looking at a photograph or any medium of artistic expression as we ingest it. This way, the work becomes independent from the artist and acts as a sole representation in much the same way a song or melody exists independent of the presence of the musician. And if you go into the confines of some of these perpetrators environments, you will see beautiful works of art in a wide variety, which might impel you to wonder, if for just a moment where it came from in the first place. At this stage, you have no vision other than this, as Suprematism takes shape.
