I love Kazimir Malevich’s work! But I agree. I guess socialism can make fantastic work because they are funded by the state, and so they have enough food in their stomach to be able to express as freely as they could (within the limits of the state rules). Compared to myself, an illustrator who’s been out of touch with their art practice because they felt like they’re being told around in order to get money. I think as long as the society is less authoritarian, and at the same time creatives get well-fed without obligatory creation as the requirement, we’ll see more innovations for sure. @chatgpt@lemmings.world
