>what's the appeal in this
Context. Very little art is simply "pretty".

Read Malevich's writing or something on Suprematism to understand what he was engaging with. It's an attempt to develop non-objective art. It's usually understood to be seen an attempt at the universal & infinite but people forget that the OP's much more famous companion was exhibited in the upper corner of a room, where a russian cross would normally be long - in other words, positioned as a divine icon.

kek. I don't get why normalfags hold their ignorance as a mark of honor. you've the internet, there's really no excuse to be so uneducated.

it's actually funny that malevich is the topic. there's an anecdote that goes how the avantgarde pushed for works like his black square to be exhibited to the greater public, as they wanted art to be universal, appealing to all humanity, not simply the upper class. but the insecure petite bougies and stupid working class figured it was just the rich playing some sick joke on them, and refused to accept that this was serious art. they cried "my kid could do that!" and "emperor's new clothes!" etc.

in the end, it was their own pretentiousness that lost them art - ironically telling themselves it was lost to pretentiousness. fucking retards. when will they learn?

It's your problem. You should be able to see through the hype of any trend and sift the genuinely new developments in style from the empty pleb excitements. You wouldn't need to adjust anything to avoid trends unless you were just blindly stumbling around between the low hanging fruit, behaving as shallow as the fuckboys but simply dancing out of tune.
