Racist joke found written underneath one of the world’s most famous paintings
In short:Kazimir Malevich painting ‘Black Square’ from 1915…
After looking at the painting under a microscope, experts found that the inscription says: ‘Battle of negroes in a dark cave.’
I suppose that’s racist enough. But if you *really* want to be offended, consider this:
‘Black Square’ has long been considered one of the most important artworks of the early 20th century’s avant-garde movement.
When I think of “important artwork, guess what I *don’t* think of:
Well, at least the title is honest. But really, how pretentious does someone have to be to see a square of black paint as Important Art?
Don’t answer that.
