They reported that the first black box was a picture of Paul Bilholda in 1882. and was called "night fight of Negroes in the basement." It was represented at the exhibition "The Art of inconsistent" in Paris.

And what about our unforgettable Alphonse Allais? ))

One of the founders of the "absurd art" (1882-1893), he is also the world's first abstract artist - much earlier than Malevich - worked in "monohromicheskom" style, unfortunately, is still undervalued and insufficiently known. Here are 5 of the seven established their masterpieces:
1. Apoplekticheskie cardinals harvesting tomatoes at the Red laity (1882, maybe earlier)
2. Surprised seamen recruits, sodomites, for the first time have seen the Mediterranean Sea (1887 or so)
3. The young ladies walking in snowy weather on the first communion (established in February)
4. Battle of Africans in тунеле (attributed to Ala)
5. Asians, patients with jaundice, drink anisette, sitting in a wheat field

K-Maler, would highly recommend looking on "Meet, please, Alphonse Allais" if you have not seen
