The above images are 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.
