Many
artists suffered from Turner's syndrome:
They tried to get the sublime from the inside on the canvas - the main symptom
of this syndrome. For Kazimir Malevich the sublime was a black square. He
called the black square "the face of God." Wassily Kandinsky believed
that art is created by God and artist together. Barnett Newman captured the
sublime in "the pure idea”. Mark Rothko wanted his paintings to spread a
transparent light from the wall. Sunlight, maybe. The symptoms may differ in
nuances, the diagnosis is the same in each case.
