I've been back from New York now. It was a good trip. I still don't know if I could move there, but at least now it seems much more like a reality. Studio visits were perhaps the most helpful. See the real artists trying to make it there. However, we only saw artists who did reach some amount of success there and were able to support themselves

I was intending to imply that his humor was very stereo-typically guy-oriented. Not that I didn't know his gender. I probably didn't state that clearly through my wording.

As for the quote, it is taken way out of context. You're trying to make sense of it given that it is out of context is interesting though :)
I was mostly interested in the last sentence of that quote. But in general I found myself disagreeing with a lot of what Malevich had to say about art. Mostly because his ideas around Suprematism sound a little naive and self important through the eye of history. I'm sure at the time it was great though.

A true, absolute order in human society could only be achieved if mankind were willing to base this order on lasting values.

Dr. Jon Darling, sociology professor at UPJ, was the instructor for my Social Problems class. In the class, he taught the "VNAB" model... that is, "Values lead to Norms... Norms lead to Attitudes... Attitudes lead to Behavior." So following that model, behavior ultimately follows from values. If a society establishes a lasting, unchanging set of values, behavior (and order) will ultimately follow. So to a degree, the quote makes sense (though I am probably still misreading it out of context... ;). The plausibility of establishing a lasting value system adopted by all of humanity is debatable, though.

Mostly because his ideas around Suprematism sound a little naive and self important through the eye of history.To me, the name "Suprematism" itself sounds self-important. :} Then if you take something relatively simple and build it up by suggesting that it takes a heightened cognizance to recognize the

I'm sad that you refer to us as your "f-list". Why, you are on my d-list, at least!

And apparently... I'm "a Ham". Yum.

What? We live sort of in the same city?
