i find the Suprematism movement founded by Kazimir Malevich very intriguing.

An extract from Wikepedia:

Another important influence on Malevich were the ideas of the Russian mystic-mathematician, philosopher, and disciple of Georges Gurdjieff; P. D. Ouspensky who wrote of "a fourth dimension or a Fourth Way beyond the three to which our ordinary senses have access".[1]

Some of the titles to paintings in 1915 express the concept of a non-euclidian geometryTwo dimensional painted masses in the state of movement. These give some indications towards an understanding of the which imagined forms in movement, or through time; titles such as: Suprematic compositions produced between 1915 and 1918.

I just forgot to put the source but if someone just reminded me (like I see it happening all the time) I would immediately post the source. No need to erase it

Ok, here we go again.

The source is: http://alice.loria.fr/publications/papers/2006/EGSR_Ardeco//supplemental/gallery_lempicka_svg.html

The painting is called Young Lady in Green Dress or also Young Lady with Gloves,
by the Polish Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka.

tres chic i like the way she looks hard almost as if made from metal yet there's a delicacy in the colours and the expression which makes it more engaging.
