color art for the twentieth century became the main module of plastic, inspired many experiments in the field of geometric abstraction. With particular clarity and completeness it is manifested in the aesthetics of the Ukrainian row, homespun carpet, and it is actively used Suprematists and artists that are in the creative space of Malevich as a direct pictorial experiments, and in many decorative designs. Lyubov Popova, Olga Rozanova, Konstantin Rozhdestvensky, Il'ya Chashniki , Varvara Stepanova and other masters to develop a formal structure of the color bands, and burdening its varying.

«Terrace» - the so-called Ukrainian striped woven rug. Exhibition curator Marina Loshak placed it next to the avant-garde and experimental works of contemporary artists. «For me it is not clear, in fact, who is stronger: the farmer, who made a row, or a great artist, who made a striped theme of their work. I think it is simply fantastic! Every minute it changes the rhythm bands. Brilliant sense of rhythm, color and texture », - said Marina Loshak.

Thanks conscious collectors, not all rugs brought from the villages of the steppes of Ukraine, anonymous. Hevdora Maslak and Lisaveta Kvitka - the names of these artists are much less known than the name of Kazimir Malevich , though it is possible that the lessons of abstract forms and pure color is the founder of Suprematism was taken from the folk weavers. «He grew up in the vicinity of Kamenetz-Podolsk, in the museum which, incidentally, kept a large collection of ryaden, it could not influence it», - noticed Marina Loshak.

In the twenties geometric abstraction does not restrict the net art. Students Malevitch striped attracted an ideal geometry, the artists group Matyushin Michael - the rhythm of color.

Olga Zubakin translated book Michel Pasturo «Devil matter. History stripes and striped fabric ». In the Middle Ages striped surface frightened people. Can not figure out where the background, and where the figure. Striped dress required rogue, heretics, traitors, and mariners shutam - people unreliable. «The new, all accurate to the contrary, because it is changing attitudes to the rule», - explained the interpreter.

In the modern art and modern culture meanings accumulated strips in different epochs, coexist. The exhibition «next» can be observed, and the permanence of the universal form, and Variation of becoming a jazz improvisation.

Project «next» does not purport to unambiguity comparisons, it is just about finding «close», on the visual kinship of Ukrainian row, avant-garde graphics and Alexander Konstantinov. This number can be expanded and complemented by finding all the new matches in the history of art, remembering and neoplastitsizme Mondrian, and «-scenes Zippered» Barnett Newman, and «Field Painting» Mark Rothko .
