Here, in the epigraph the word “egghead” can be determined as an external shaping principle of similarity and as a metaphor for any “highbrow” art, and in particular — Suprematism.

A series of portraits is dedicated to the suprematist art by Kazimir Malevich. Declaring a final break with realism, Malevich formed his plastic vision based on clean geometrism and use of local color. Everyone knows his famous «Black Square».

The experience of a modern and trained eye allows us to get an opposite angle on the story, while being in conflict with Malevich theory – that is, through the decorative realism and photorealism.
