were true to life. He did this by choice to get past the human biased way of seeing an object. He was trying to transmit pure sensation. The actual subject is irrelevant; the feelings of it are the main focus.With Malevich's Red Square a peasant woman is depicted. Here Malevich is not trying to depict a pretty picture of a woman. Instead, he reduces the woman to a simple square and transmits her essence. The color red perhaps could represent anger and the slightly unsymmetrical lines of the square could represent unbalance. However, any analysis of Malevich's suprematist paintings has to be viewed without biased. Previous knowledge says that red is mad and unsymmetry means unbalance, so any analysis based on logic and a priori judgement is suspect. Only the raw emotions of the woman are supposed to be transmitted. Personally, I see the red square as an Russian babushka. The tilt of the square represents her trudging way of moving and gracelessness. The bright red is an extremely warm color, which is fitting for a Russian peasant woman. The white space is to isolate her from the rest of the world and focus only on her. The Red Square is a fairly revolutionary painting. One complex subject is rendered down to a single geometric shape and color. The main point of the painting is to express the dynamic movement and pure sensation of the subject. This is what Malevich was trying to get across instead of painting another pretty picture of real life....
