by Kazimir Malevich, 1915

Public domain
Malevich showed these without frames and wouldn't say which way up they went — he thought a fixed top and bottom was just another assumption people had gotten used to calling natural.
Public domain
He stopped showing his paintings publicly for almost twenty years after becoming famous, so a lot of work like this only came out once he'd died.
