in the form of the square

Kasemir Malevich: In the year 1913, trying desperately to free art from the dead weight of the real world, I took refuge in the form of the square. The Square is an art blog run by a fine arts graduate who misses her art history classes.

As with Kahlo, there has been a tendency with O'Keeffe to view her work through the lens of her life story and relationship to a man, something that rarely happens with male artists. For instance, imagine a biography that examined the career of Jackson Pollock in relation to the ups and downs of his marriage with fellow artist Lee Krasner- inconceivable, yet usually unquestioned with Kahlo and O'Keeffe.
