Kazimir Malevich made this drawing, Suprematistic composition (Feeling of a mystic "wave" out of the cosmos), at an unknown date with an unknown medium. Look at those light touches, the delicate balancing act he's pulling off. I imagine him, almost like a tightrope walker, carefully placing each line, each mark, feeling his way through the cosmos, hoping not to fall off into oblivion. The cross hovers, tentative, like a whisper of an idea. It reminds me of Agnes Martin’s grids. Both artists use simple geometric forms to evoke something vast and unknowable. What was Malevich thinking when he drew this? Was he searching for a new visual language, a way to express the spiritual in a world that was rapidly changing? Artists are always in conversation, aren't they? Passing ideas back and forth across time, inspiring each other to see the world in new ways. It's like we're all swimming in the same ocean of creativity, catching the same cosmic waves.
