Black Cross and "Ornament and Crime"
Black Cross (c 1920-23) by Kazimir Malevich
- “All art is erotic. The first ornament that was born, the cross, was erotic in origin. The first work of art, the first artistic act which the first artist, in order to rid himself of his surplus energy, smeared on the wall. A horizontal dash: the prone woman. A vertical dash: the man penetrating her.” "Ornament and Crime" (1908) by Adolf Loos, tr. Michael Bullock
