Black History Month Has Come and Gone, But Not the Artists
By CharLena M. Pearson | Submitted On March 03, 2010
������������
Once again, black history month has come and gone, but thankfully
not the art or the artists. This year it didn't seem as though the
usual speeches were trotted out to make the people of Black America
proud to be black. That in itself was a gift. Instead we were all
treated to new ways to be proud to be Americans that happen to be
from the African Diaspora. If you watched channel 5, there was Wendy
Williams who talked about a famous black inventors or filmmakers or
scientists. Sure there have been other people, like Ruby Dee and
Ossie Davis on Channel 7 who have spoken about other accomplishments
in the past, but it was nice to see someone smiling at us instead of
being somber about the greatness that runs through the Diaspora.
This year I had the privilege to go to an artist opening at the
Dwyer Cultural Center up in Harlem. It was for invited guests only
the evening before the actual opening to the public. There was of
course the press from The Amsterdam News and other archivist with
cameras to take note of the painters and their brand of art. It
could be said that the glitterati of Manhattan Valley was there. I
noticed at least ten different people who are members or go on a
regular basis to Riverside Church.
One of the artists invited me to this wonderful event and I was able
to talk to him in depth about his work and how he came to be an
artist. After more than 25 years in academia, as a high school
teacher, he decided to go back to his first love, art. His name is
Robert Daniels. As a young boy he started off using whatever he
could get his hands on to draw in the kitchen while his mother was
cooking dinner. Often when his mother was not at home he scoured her
room for lipstick to use as his colored pencils and draw on whatever
was not nailed down.
Mr. Daniel's art has developed from the early days of using chalk
and lipstick to going on to using Photoshop and everything else in
between. His artwork is gorgeous to say the least. Mr. Daniels is a
part of the Weusi* Group, in which 12 of the 50 members is being
showcased now through September 3rd 2010. Starting after September
4th or so another 12 will be on display to show off their wonderful
talents. At the Dwyer there is a 20 minute short that showcases the
present artists in the show and how they became affiliated with the
Weusi Group. It can also be seen on their website via YouTube. Weusi
is a Swahili word which means both blackness and togetherness, quite
poignant for the art that is on display.
I met several other artists there as well, part of the Weusi
Revisited: 2010 series. Emmett Wigglesworth, Okoe Pyatt, Otto Neals,
Perry Cannon, and Gaylord Hassan. Mr. Hassan, walks with a walker,
but still manages to produce gorgeous canvases almost twice his
height of 5'- 10". Perhaps you know of them and their works, if not
check them all out at the Dwyer Cultural Center. You will not be
disappointed.
Most of the artists have had to lead a completely different life
from being an artist, but is shows that through persistence and
determination, their natural abilities had to shine through. That, I
think, is most what Black History Month wants to proclaim. These
artists are doing their best to do just that. To see a full length,
in depth interview with Mr. Daniels check out Maxine's Corner, which
will launch on Monday, April 26th as an Internet TV blog, hosted by
this author, CharLena Pearson.

His Most Famous Painting - Black Square by Kasimir Malevich
By Annette Labedzki | Submitted On September 08, 2009
Russian 'Suprematist' painter, art theoretician, and the frontrunner
of 'Geometric Abstract Art,' Kazimir Severinovich Malevich or
Kasimir (or Kazimir) Malevich (1878-1935), was born near Kiev, Kiev
Governorate of Russia. He joined the Moscow Institute of Painting,
Sculpture and Architecture in 1903. In his earlier days, the creator
of "Black Square" (1915), Kasimir followed 'Impressionism' as well
as 'Fauvism,' Picasso and Cubism influencing him later. Impressed,
Malevich led the 'Russian Cubist Movement.' In 1912, he took part in
the exhibition Donkey's Tail, where he showed his 'Neo-Primitive'
works. By the end of 1912, he participated in the fifth exhibition
of the Union of Youth, in St. Petersburg, where he showed 'Woman
with Buckets and Child' (1912), 'Scythe-Man,' 'Harvester,' and the
'Head of a Peasant.'
In 1913, Kasimir founded his own painting style, which he named as
'Suprematism.' 'Suprematism' involved creating 'Abstract Geometric'
patterns. Later, he created 'Black Square' his first 'Suprematist'
and most famous painting, which according to the artist, "Conveyed
the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art." Kasimir Malevich's
painting is the most creative and beautiful painting in Russian art
history. He painted different types of "Black Square," during
1915-30s. The variety was created not only in the terms of sequences
or in the years of painting, but also in color, style, texture, and
presentation. Each time Malevich's concept was unique and bore no
similarities with the previous versions.
The first and original "Black Square" was created in 1915. The same
year this oil on canvas painting, sized 106.2 cm x 106.5 cm (41 3/4"
x 41 7/8"), was showed at the Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10 in
Petrograd. The painting shows a black square, measuring
approximately two and a half feet, against white background. This
"Black Square" became the identifying symbol of 'Suprematism.' This
painting is presently available at the State Russian Museum, St.
Petersburg, Russia.
In 1923, Malevich created his second "Black Square," in association
with his close disciples Konstantin Rozhdestvensky, Anna Leporskaya,
and Nikolay Suyetin. It was for a triptych, which also included
Cross and Circle (now at the State Russian Museum in St.
Petersburg). The "Black Square" was one of the most basic geometric
forms and was therefore, not considered a marvel anymore.
In 1929, Kazimir Malevich created the third "Black Square,"
following the appeal of Aleksey Fedorov-Davydov, Assistant Director
of the Tretykov Gallery, Moscow, to replace 1915 Square, due to its
poor condition. This square was the ''blindest,'' and the most
''hopeless," with thickly coated black paint. This one had no
similarity with the first "Black Square" Malevich created in 1915.
Kazimir Malevich's last " Square" was the smallest of all and
touches upon the pattern of red and black, which was significant to
the artist. This painting was created probably for the exhibition
Artists of The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR),
held in Leningrad in 1932. The 'Square Red and Black' was the
showpiece of his exhibition in the show. The last square created by
Kasimir Malevich were not handed over to the Russian Museum but was
kept by his family.
