Kazimir Malevich

Malevich is one of the first artists to push the idea of what is a painting and the significance of it to the limits. Malevich has influenced artists in ways that we can still see today ( artists such as Mel Ramsden and Jenny Watson) and continues to come up as one of the main topics in the discussion of conceptual and post modern art today. 

without this break through by Malevich i would most likely not be on the path of art today in questioning what makes art, well art. In Black Square Malevich started a conversation that artists can still engage in today, is it the content in the work that matters rather than the technique in which it is made or the other way around?
