Dramatis person xaioiiox ox xaioiiox Dunno, monochrome painting has however remained a durable idiom in art eversince Malevich painted the Black Square and Rodchenko painted the three primary colors about a hundred years ago. In conjuncion with the monochromes (and achromes) of Yves Klein and Piero Manzoni, the monochrome has often acquired the job of representing space or the void. What is interesting here however is that the artist, Henry Codax, is believed to not exist but rather be a cional characer; it is speculated that Olivier Mosset and Jacob Kassay are behind Codax. Codax was however mentioned in the :cc novel Reena Spaulings, and might have thus taken on a life of his own (like Vonneguts Rabo Karabekian). It reminds of other cional artists such as Duchamps Rrose Slavy or Jayson Mussons Hennessy Youngman. ox You should make a monochrome and put ^those words on it in transparency (as to try not to take away from the monochromeness) so noobs understand the context and dont bitch about wehh wehh theyre just solid colors not art wehh imjealousofthemoney wehh
