Exploding Tongues: Language, Art, and the Russian Avant-garde

Filled in with Black

This circle is completely filled in with black paint, giving it the appearance of a hole or tunnel. Like the other Malevich piece, the solid color, or in this case lack of color, makes the viewer question the dimensionality of the piece. If one looks long enough, it appears as though you are gazing through a tunnel or down a hole.
