The artist without hesitation, replied: "No relationship to art, this picture has no meaning in it and no, no. Any child can draw a square. But the poet did not give up, see this question worried him, and told the following incident. Once he had visited in London, and a grandee invited him to his guests. She had a private collection of paintings, which she showed to the poet. Our poet was struck by a large painting consisting of pure white linen, in one corner of which is drawn a black dot. The lady was very fond of this picture. What is the value and meaning of this painting, he asked the poet to the artist. As for the first time, the artist replied: "This painting is nothing said, it's generally not the picture."

Perhaps every child and draw a black square, but never draw an absolute evil, however, like many people, even famous, artists. Almost any artist can depict the natural elements that surround it (to draw a landscape, portrait or still life, etc.), good or bad, is another question. But how to depict, for example, an absolute evil or good, or different feelings, such as deep loneliness? For example, in the Russian folk tales, the absolute evil represented Koshcheev immortal serpent dragon or devil. In reality, no such characters, but people found a way to display the image of these villains. Koschey - the image of the bones, the image of death - a strong negative emotion. Along the way, note that this kind of evil can be defeated, as claimed, and encouraged by the Russian folk tale. Death Koshchei "immortal" - at the end of the needle. You can build a logical chain: Koschey - evil, any evil - a sin, and sin leads to disease (definition of sin has its own disease, see the article about the paradise tree), but the disease can be effectively treated with acupuncture, according to Chinese and modern medicine . Serpent Gorynych symbolizes the destructive forces of nature (volcanic activity). The devil - in the sense of black or dark, also has negative emotions. In poetry, absolute evil is also well represented. Thus, for example, AS Pushkin, in the poem "The Upas Tree, a tree, kill any living thing that adjoins and is the image of absolute evil. In Russian fairy tales is a nondescript animal, black, with horns and a long tail. On these grounds the artist can draw, for example, a black goat or a horned cow, black with a long tail, but this does not mean that he represented absolute evil. Artists also are trying to play this difficult image. For example, the famous painting Vrubel - "Demon".

Artwork can affect the viewer in a way that is depicted on it. This image can be pleasant or unpleasant to the beholder. An unpleasant image causes negative emotions, and certain types of emotions, as we have shown in previous articles, on the impact of functional organs, thus affecting the health. If we remove the images from the film and leave only a different color or one color, such a cloth would also be two ways to influence our health, depending on whether, like the color on the canvas to us or not (see the article "Color therapy"), ie Again, this is the impact through our emotions (negative or positive). And the third option, if we remove the picture and color images, leaving only the various geometric, meaningless figures in different proportions. Even so, at first glance, an abstract painting, nothing speaking, can affect our health, depending on the resulting emotions (positive or negative). If these figures are drawn on a white canvas, the very background of this canvas, as a certain color, has an additional effect on people, through his emotions. If the figures are made subject to the rules of "Golden Section", then this pattern is likely to have a positive effect and, conversely, when non-compliance with this rule - a negative impact.

So what brilliant painting by Kazimir Malevich's Black Square "? This cloth is the image of absolute evil. Black color - the most gloomy, oppressive (oppressive) and "cold" of all colors. Well, the geometric proportions of sides of a square (1:1) is practically not occur in nature. In life, work rules "golden section", when the ratio of geometric dimensions are not equivalent, such as the ratio of the height of the famous pyramids of Cheops to half the base of 1,618 - one of the five invariants "golden section". Look at the things around you: at home, windows, doors, desks, cabinets, paintings, screens and TV monitors, etc., unless they are square. Try to find at least one square painting in the Tretyakov Gallery. Square - the most unpleasant geometrical figure.

Thus, the most obnoxious - the color black and the most unpleasant geometric shape - square, in the aggregate, and it is an abstract representation of absolute evil, as a possible negative impact on the human body by using color and shape.

At mentally balanced, healthy person does not make this picture much of an impression. Figure it may seem unpleasant, uninteresting, and most likely, he'll pass, especially without stopping. But on the melancholic, so even with poor health, mentally unbalanced and impressionable, this figure will have a strong negative impact. The positive impact of the Black Square is possible to overexcited sanguine.

Well, that says a white canvas with a dot in the corner. This is perfectly expressed deep sense of loneliness, presented in abstract form. Apparently, this lady from London was deeply lonely, and the picture perfectly resonated with her feelings.
