@@nickway_Not necessarily. The purpose of the art style is convey feeling without objective realism.

when my kid was 4 months old, she grabbed a pencil and she "drew" a line on a piece of paper. Then, to make my wife laugh, I start bullsh*tting about how that was a masterpiece and that what it seemed just like a crooked line actually had a lot of meaning. Now...when this video started with "the square is off center to give movement", the hair in the paint, the paintings under the painting, etc. it sounded 100% the style of what I said about my daughter's "painting". For example I remember saying stuff like "the line is going down and it could be interpreted like life will bring suffering but, since it's drawn on a free paper, you can just rotate and it will go up. This doesn't change the line (the events in your life) but changes how you see it because even the same events can be seen from completely different perspective and give you happiness or sadness, depending on how you're gonna interpret it"
@@audhd_incarnate8001 In that case literally everything any human being has come across is art. You've made the definition of art so broad that it's meaningless and conveys nothing.
@@Joshua-dc4un Why does the intent matter? By your logic, me sneezing into a tissue could be art as long as it was done by me intentionally.

"But his opened hand formed a quadrilateral"... No it didn't. This is a prime example of people imagining meaning where there is none. The open hand hardly even represents an angle, much less a quadrilateral.
With some art styles, it can be a fine line between subverting the norm to create a meaningful message, and simply being a contrarian to boost your own sense of self-worth.
I really think this the case here. I'll spend months on my paintings, which also have been painted upon used painting canvases. They too have begun to crack over time. And my paintstrokes are also visible, my hair, my fingerprints, my sweat, even my blood when i painted so long my hands blistered. What makes art, art, is that a special effort and intention was put into it. But no special effort or intention went into this, because this happens to all paintings.
I firmly believe that the art is not his painting, but his intentions and views. The moment he put it on canvas it became an object, what is the exact opposite he wanted. His explanation is the art and the painting is just the "canvas".

Before the invention of the photograph, art had the sole responsibility for recording the visual human experience for later reference. Photography freed painting and sculpture from what was both a heavy burden and an immense responsibility. According to my high school art teacher, art is currently trying to answer the question "What is Art?" I would rephrase this question as: "What can we get art experts (including artists and critics) to agree constitutes Art?" It is a boring question equivalent to "If I paid a lawyer to stand in a court room and argue about what falls into the definition of 'Cat,' what plausible arguments could the lawyer come up with that other like-minded lawyers would agree with?" The word "Cat" in the previous sentence can be replaced with a variety of nouns such as "car," "furniture," "chicken," "boat," "vegetable," and even concepts like "sports" or "art." If the opinions of non-lawyers are dismissed because "they aren't lawyers," why would the lawyer-approved, stretched-out and distorted definition of the word "Cat" even be valid? Similarly, when artists are pushing the limits on what can be considered "Art," why is the resulting stretched-out definition of "Art" valid, especially if the only opinions considered are those of art experts themselves? This is the frustration I feel as an art consumer walking through displays of modern art that look to me like a plumber was having a bad day. These are the rooms at an art museum where people don't linger. In a parallel universe, Fine Art could be defined by the following: "the best fine art is the art that can be wildly marked up and sold on a cruise ship." This would mean that the Fine Art is defined as art that best connects emotionally and is accessible intellectually to the general public. In the actual real world, this definition of Fine Art would really pi** off art critics, but why is would such a radical definition of Fine Art be invalid? Originally, art was about recording images to be shared with the general public for informational purposes and not an inward emotional exploration among a tight circle of art experts.
@JMRCUSP I'm glad you enjoyed my comment. Thank you for enlightening me about art history and photography. I'm a lawyer and casual art consumer and not anyone super knowledgeable about art. BTW, if I was arguing for the most expansive definition possible of the word "Cat" that I thought I might get away with, I would have argued that any animal with a nose and whiskers should be considered a cat. "Hello Kitty" is unambiguous considered a cat based on its nose, whiskers, face shape, and ears. The ears and the face shape should be disregarded in my definition. Hello Kitty's ears are just undefined nubs, and cats' faces aren't actually round. Thus, the whiskers and the nose make the cat. The expansiveness of the definition comes into play because most mammals (including all non-human primates) have whiskers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskers. All mammals I am aware of have noses.
"Sole responsability for recording the visual experience"? Oh, no. That's a complete misunderstanding of art and art history, or of human history and even just common sense. That was not the only intended or unintended function of art. And other forms of expression have always been able to represent visual imagery for posterity. Just think about it. Even if a person says "I once saw a cow. It was big and blue with Hugo square eyes", and somebody hears that and tells it to their children, who by themselves tell it to their own children. There you go, visual registry of a cow for posterity.
Those people who criticize Malevich's works weren't paying attention to the detail of his paintings. They looked at paintings like a "child" not an expert. Hence, they lacked insight about the real meaning of these images.
Child isnt the the right word.. more like.. a person who can actually tell the difference between art that actually means something and doesn't need a video to explain to the viewer why they should enjoy said art and art that does.
If you look hard enough, you'll find lots of meaning in even an infant's scribbling. So i still don't get what's so special. But i read that rich people buy these weird paintings to avoid huge taxes somehow.
I prefer a child's skribbles than an adult's because at least I know the kid and it's kinda cute and stuff, with adults creating these scribbles and selling them for billions they're just scamming people
I don't want to read essays and know the life story of an artist to be able to artificially put meaning into an artwork. It should be interesting by itself.
So it seems art will always be different and each is not for everybody. However, suppressing the artist from his/her art to imitate another is far worse.
Malevich started his second Peasant's series before his arrest in 1930. He was arrested for his subversive philosophy and engagement in the Bolshevist movement, not art (not an excuse for the arrest, though). His turning back to figurative art was due to the limits of Suprematist art as early as in the mid 1920s, before 1932 suppression of Leftist (avantgarde) art in the USSR. Basically, he couldn't go farther than simple forms: square, circle, triangle. He used up all the combinations soon. And his latest pictures were hugely inspired by the Italian Renaissance, which he adored. Malevich was born in Kiev, Russian Empire, btw. Fact checking still exists, TED-ed, you know.
◾Zaha Hadid, the late British-Iraqi architect, was so inspired by his paintings that she found her way to express her design thought through his ideas. She had also given lectures on his work. ⬛
It's a shame this type of art is impossible to be appreciated without handicaps: articles by the author explaining his worldview, being positioned in a museum where it won't be mistaken as nothing intentional, etc. Other art pieces can evoke emotion without those handicaps of explanation and museum spotlight.
The Painted Word: It would be just as easy to heroize an accidental coffee stain, explaining the deep layers of meaning in it. Art Criticism has had a hand in ruining art forever.
The history is always cool, but I think the point of art is to make u feel something. Personally, I feel nothing when I see tht square and a lot of art tht I see in museums come to think of it. Partly why I don’t like art museums - more artifacts of history than art
Amazing video. But the comment section clearly represents the minds of those who aren’t ready to understand it, despite it being a more than a century old painting. Even after such a great video, people are still upset to this day, and that what makes it a masterpiece

@@TungLe-if5pq sorry you're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill No one understood it its why he had to explain for years which ruins art. It shouldn't be explained by the artist
@@TungLe-if5pq and your point is you dont understand art. An artist can say he used red because he was angry all he wants but if people say he used red because they painted an apple and apples are usually red, all the artist did was show they know what color an apple is. Take any sort of art class and you'll see only the snob artists and art critics tell you how you should feel when you look at art. If you see it as something beautiful then congrats it looks beautiful in your eyes and thats what the artist accomplished. But if the artist was trying to show you ugliness and you saw only beauty, its not good art
That's all cool. It's still a square, though. I don't think it's deeply profound because it's off-center and there's a hair stuck in it 😂. "It giVeS iT a sENse oF mOVeMEnT" k dude, or maybe he didn't have a ruler handy. The thing is, people can BS some sort of deep meaning out of ANYTHING if they try hard enough. I'd say that's exactly what people are doing when it comes to many examples of highly simplistic or random abstract artwork "that a child could make." Spare me all this pretentious "oh, you're too close-minded to get it" or "you simply need to try harder to engage with the artwork" Nah man, you're just making stuff up and getting high on your own farts. Make whatever art you want, however simple you want, but when an all-white painting, or a single shape, or a bunch of random splatters, or a damn banana taped to a wall is getting applauded as inspiring artwork and sold for the price of a house, then yeah, people are gonna roll their eyes and make fun of it.

If I jizz on a canvas and let it dry would it be art
Malevich basicly declared war with OCD's people

It could also be that he didn't like the first two paintings and decidet to essentialy erase his work

i love this square
Wow! Thoroughly enjoyed this video😃 my idea about abstract art changed after watching this video😊 thank you TED-Ed❤
Thank you for sub indo
cause its the donda album cover duhh
That's all cool. It's still a square, though. I don't think it's deeply profound because it's off-center and there's a hair stuck in it 😂. "It giVeS iT a sENse oF mOVeMEnT" k dude, or maybe he didn't have a ruler handy.
The thing is, people can BS some sort of deep meaning out of ANYTHING if they try hard enough. I'd say that's exactly what people are doing when it comes to many examples of highly simplistic or random abstract artwork "that a child could make."
Spare me all this pretentious "oh, you're too close-minded to get it" or "you simply need to try harder to engage with the artwork" Nah man, you're just making stuff up and getting high on your own farts. Make whatever art you want, however simple you want, but when an all-white painting, or a single shape, or a bunch of random splatters, or a damn banana taped to a wall is getting applauded as inspiring artwork and sold for the price of a house, then yeah, people are gonna roll their eyes and make fun of it.
Malevich, one of my favourite artists, among Escher and Pollock.

I love stuff like this, it's so easy to cause outrage. It's very interesting.
