>I've re-read this paragraph like twenty times and I'm still not sure what to make of it. Re-read what it was written in response to. You argued a lot that something like Black Square has little "artistic merit" because it is very easy to re-create, and someone could do it by accident. Let me pose a question: if so, why hasn't there been a painting like that in the 19th century? 18th? Or at any time over the millenia that the humanity has produced paintings in rectangular frames? Black, after all, is the simplest, most easily available color. Another line of thought for you to consider. You might have heard of Vaporwave[1], which is a musical[2] as well as visual art aesthetic/movement. I would urge you to read [1], as it will help you understand the answers to your questions, then come back here.
