"Malevich's View of the Insect World" This project is an appropriation of MDM-14 from "My Dear Malevich". As you look through Malevich's "Black Square" and "White Square" that comprise MDM-14, you see the insect world as an interpretation of the "Cubo-Futuristic" style that he (Kazimir Malevich) was using in his paintings in 1912. All the main Russian avant-garde artists of the time (including Malevich) absorbed the Cubist principles and began using them in their works. In 1915, Malevich laid down the foundations of Suprematism when he published his manifesto, "From Cubism to Suprematism". He created "Black Square" in 1915 and "White on White" ("White Square") in 1918. "Malevich's View of the Insect World" celebrates this transition from Cubism to Suprematism by appropriating MDM-14 from "My Dear Malevich", which is an homage to Kazimir Malevich. Two examples of 36 pieces are shown below:
