The days of the traditional long white dress are numbered. After all, there’s no reason why we should limit our options to just white when getting married. Especially nowadays when the fashion industry has come up with so many cool and edgy options to shake things up a bit on that special day. Clearly, this is what some of the most famous celebrities of our time (along with many other brides) decided to go for. And it’s no wonder — celebrities are always the avant-garde when it comes to creating amazing new styles and events.
That being said, Bright Side wants to share some of the coolest, edgiest, and trendiest wedding dresses that celebrities wore as they said, “I do.” And who knows, you might end up ditching the white dress of your dreams after finding some inspiration for your own wedding here.
1. Emma Thompson
When it comes to unusual wedding dresses, Emma Thompson’s seems to be at the top of the list. Thompson married fellow-actor Kenneth Branagh in 1989. For that occasion, she left behind the typical white wedding dress and wore a short, multicolored one with a somewhat peculiar hat. While their relationship didn’t ultimately pass the test of time, they were considered a golden couple of English cinema in the early ’90s and they left us with this rare but original wedding dress jewel.
2. Queen Elizabeth II
When the then-Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip, Europe was not really the place to be. World War II had just ended and economic problems were still the order of the day. But royal weddings are always a moment of celebration, not just for the Royal Family, but also for the rest of the world. And as you can imagine, the future Queen’s wedding was no exception. She paid for her dress with clothing ration coupons, and on top of that, admirers sent her their own coupons by mail so that the princess could have her dream wedding garment. Even though these were returned since it was illegal to accept these offerings, she wore an ivory-colored satin dress embroidered with 10,000 pearls and 4-meters of silk tulle.
3. Dita Von Teese
The actress and model married rock singer Marilyn Manson in 2005, and what we least expect from them was traditional attire on their wedding day. The “Queen of Burlesque” wore a purple dress with a corset and a wide skirt along with a hat, faithfully reflecting the artistic trend that made her so famous.
4. Priscilla Presley
When Priscilla married the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, she wore a fairly simple dress but one that was perfect for the occasion. It went perfectly with their intimate, cozy, romantic ceremony. It was a white dress with long lace sleeves and inlaid stones. But finding it was a real challenge. She wanted to remain anonymous when shopping, so she had to go to stores wearing wigs and used fake names all the time. The wedding was far from the large, luxurious event that music stars typically hold. Still, the Presleys soon became one of the most iconic and remembered couples of all time.
5. Solange Knowles
Beyoncé’s sister and fellow singer got married in 2014. Her outfits were simple, but that’s exactly what made them beautiful and elegant. She arrived at the ceremony wearing a very stylish jumpsuit that featured a cape and then switched into a Kenzo dress. But her modern dress was not the only thing that broke the traditional bride stereotype. Her means of transportation was something unheard of. Forget about limousines or carriages: the bride arrived at her reception on her bike!
6. Yoko Ono
Yoko Ono’s wedding with the lead singer of the Beatles lasted barely 10 minutes. They got married at the British Consulate in Gibraltar. The couple’s austerity was also reflected in their attire: she wore a miniskirt and a top, which she paired with sunglasses, a hat, long socks, and tennis shoes. But that’s not the only thing that made this wedding special. While many couples would travel to the Bahamas for their honeymoon, John and Yoko settled down in the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam. Far from visiting the city and doing tourist activities like any other newlywed couple, they made the famous demonstration for peace, Bed-Ins for Peace, in which they spent 7 days in bed. While their marriage was supposed to remain a secret, thanks to the demonstration, then they became the most famous couple in the world.
7. Kaley Cuoco
At her first wedding, the Big Bang Theory star cut loose from the tradition of the white wedding dress as well: she impressed everyone with an all-pink gown. Unfortunately, her marriage did not endure the test of time, but hey, love came knocking at her door once again and she said, “I do!” In a much more mature setting, Kuoko wore a beautiful white lace dress paired with a lace cape as well. Could it be that this time she refused to go off the beaten path because she thought it could be a bad omen?
8. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
Far from being a grand royal wedding, worthy of 2 future monarchs, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles’ marriage was far more laid-back, and in a way, more casual than the heir’s first wedding. A civil union and a blessing in St. George’s Chapel followed by a reception sufficed for the couple to celebrate their love for each other. In accordance with the event’s tone, Camilla was not wearing a long white wedding dress, but rather, opted for a chiffon and silk dress with a coat of the same fabric. Charles never would see his bride enter the church and walk down the aisle dressed in white. But in the end, all that matters is that he finally got what he had been waiting for: marry the woman he truly loved.
9. Shirley Temple
The actress’s first marriage took place when she was merely 17 years old. Because she had been working since she was a child, the people of her country, and the whole world, had seen her grow up on-screen. Clearly, no one wanted to miss this great moment in the life of the young film prodigy. She surprised everyone with a short-sleeved satin dress, which was very fashionable at the time.
10. Gwen Stefani
While Stefani was enjoying her golden hour as a member of No Doubt, she got married and wore a dress that was as funky as it was unique. Stefani wore a voluminous Christian Dior dress with pink degradé at the bottom and a long veil. It was very punk but refined, perfect for such an original and upbeat girl like her.
11. Miley Cyrus
In late 2018, the former Disney girl surprised the entire world when she married Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. The couple got married in a secret ceremony with their closest family and friends. Their attire was as relaxed, romantic, and simple as the event itself. Cyrus wore an elegant ivory silk satin dress, but somehow, we were left with the feeling that if they’d actually gone for a big wedding, they might have impressed us with something a little more eccentric and wild, something that we could clearly recognize as Cyrus’ signature look.
12. Kandi Burruss
When the singer and cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta said she was about to get married, she meant it. Just as if she were a participant in a reality show, Burruss documented the entire event on camera in a special called Kandi’s Wedding and revealed everything that went into the preparations for the big day. And, of course, her dress was as stunning as the event itself. It was made of stones and feathers, had a 3-meter long train, and was a Reco Chapple. Just in case you were wondering, it’s estimated that the entire dress cost no less than $20,000. I guess we’ll all have to keep on saving for a while if we want a dress like that!
13. Allison Pill
If there’s one thing these brides have taught us, it’s that the color of your dress can be your favorite color. No need to go for white if you don’t want to — just ask actress Alison Pill. For her wedding, the Canadian actress wore a yellow vintage dress that perfectly matched her beautiful golden curls.


brightside--2020-09-17--I Live in France and I Can Tell You Why Parents Here Enjoy Their Lives and Don’t Fuss Over Their Kid

I Live in France and I Can Tell You Why Parents Here Enjoy Their Lives and Don’t Fuss Over Their Kids

All mothers want their children to go to bed without their help , to behave in stores and in public , and to be quiet when their parents are talking on the phone .
And mothers also want to have some free time for themselves and some time to spend with their husbands .
It turns out that this is all possible .
A woman from Russia went to live in France , got married there , had 2 children , and discovered a unique child-raising system there .
They have a different parenting approach .
During the first months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ daughters from his first marriage came to our place , and I played checkers with the older one — she was 7 years old at the time .
I was easy on her because I didn ’ t want to make her sad if I won .
And I was so amazed when her dad played with her as if she were an adult , and of course , he won .
When I told him he could have been easier on her , he said , “ Why ?
She has to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these emotions.
” Honestly , I had never thought of that .
My parents let me win , and now I see a different take on this , and I ’ m drawing my own conclusions .
The French are very patient , thanks to their parents .
For the local people , patience is a muscle they start training in childhood .
Don ’ t interrupt your work if your child is asking you to look at a brick tower they built .
Just explain to the child what you are busy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a little bit .
At first , they will wait for just a few seconds .
But then , they will be able to wait for minutes .
They will learn to entertain themselves while they ’ re waiting and deal with their frustration .
This is an essential skill — this is how a child realizes that they are not the center of the universe .
It ’ s not very easy to do .
I ’ m getting better at it now , but it was really hard in the beginning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t mean the times when a child really needs support — when they fall , get injured , and so on .
But when a child trips over something and starts crying , even if they are not hurt , just because they are a little scared , you don ’ t need to hug them and empathize .
If you do , you will only make the situation look even more serious in the kid ’ s eyes .
The consequences : • Children cry every time they hurt themselves , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • They fall and pretend to be in pain to attract attention .
• In their adult lives , if something doesn ’ t go as planned , they get really upset and shaken .
A normal reaction is to not pay much attention to it .
I ’ m not a tyrant .
I love my kids and I want them to grow up to be mentally strong and resilient .
In the past , child-rearing in France was even stricter .
When we go see my husband ’ s friend , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how things were and how they are today .
So , this man had very strict rules in his family when he was a kid .
• He addressed his parents in a very polite way — Vous , Papa .
• During lunch , when the kids were sitting at the table with their parents , they were not allowed to speak .
Very often , when a child can already eat on their own , they even sit at a different table .
• Only after finishing their meal are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go .
• Children can only play with their toys in their rooms .
There is no way that toys would just lie around the house .
Nowadays , it ’ s really surprising to hear these stories .
The times and rules are changing , and children are now allowed to do more .
There ’ s no need for mothers to feel guilty .
Many mothers feel worried all the time .
If their child woke up , it ’ s because they are hungry , scared , ill , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and enjoy their lives .
They don ’ t forget about themselves , about their husbands , or about the things they love .
They know that there are no perfect mothers .
They are self-organized and they know how to set the right priorities .
You won ’ t see little kids in restaurants very often .
Children don ’ t go to restaurants until they are around 4 years old .
The thing is , for a French person , having a meal is not about eating to live .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restaurant , they do it to rest and have a nice time .
This is why French people with small children choose : In France , they don ’ t trust their kids with just anyone .
If children and parents go for a walk , they do it to enjoy their time together .
I was amazed that in local cafes , there are no “ children areas ” where parents can send their children to play with others while they rest .
When I asked my husband about these areas , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his child with a person he didn ’ t know .
How children behave at someone else ’ s place They don ’ t take parenthood extremely seriously .
We went for a walk and stopped by a butcher shop .
I started talking to the seller about kids .
And I said something like , “ I understand that what I have now is happiness and I will miss it in 15 years.
” And the man replied , “ When you are retired , this is when your life just starts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with my wife and me.
” For French people , life starts at the age of 50 .
They have an interesting attitude toward divorce .

And mothers also want to have some free time for themselves and some time to spend with their husbands. It turns out that this is all possible. A woman from Russia went to live in France, got married there, had 2 children, and discovered a unique child-raising system there.
We at Bright Side were fascinated by the incredibly useful information from Anna’s blog, where she shares the rules and methods of child-raising in France that help her deal with her many difficult parenting tasks.
They have a different parenting approach.
During the first months of living with my husband, his daughters from his first marriage came to our place, and I played checkers with the older one — she was 7 years old at the time. I was easy on her because I didn’t want to make her sad if I won. And I was so amazed when her dad played with her as if she were an adult, and of course, he won.

My parents let me win, and now I see a different take on this, and I’m drawing my own conclusions.
The French are very patient, thanks to their parents.
They don’t run to their babies as soon as they wake up. They give babies some time. They let them lie there and look around . They have enough time to get used to the room and the cradle. In the future, they will need this skill and they won’t be scared of going to their rooms to sleep.
. They have enough time to get used to the room and the cradle. In the future, they will need this skill and they won’t be scared of going to their rooms to sleep. When adults talk to each other, and there’s a child calling for mom or dad, the French don’t stop talking . They let their kids understand that while 2 people are talking, they have to wait until they finish to start talking.
. They let their kids understand that while 2 people are talking, they have to wait until they finish to start talking. When a child is calling their mom to ask for something and the mom is busy, she says, “Let me finish what I’m doing and I’ll come to you in 2 minutes.” The child accepts this fact and waits.
For the local people, patience is a muscle they start training in childhood.
Don’t interrupt your work if your child is asking you to look at a brick tower they built. Just explain to the child what you are busy with and ask them to wait for a little bit. At first, they will wait for just a few seconds. But then, they will be able to wait for minutes. They will learn to entertain themselves while they’re waiting and deal with their frustration. This is an essential skill — this is how a child realizes that they are not the center of the universe. It’s not very easy to do. I’m getting better at it now, but it was really hard in the beginning.
You can’t feel pity for children.
Of course, I don’t mean the times when a child really needs support — when they fall, get injured, and so on. But when a child trips over something and starts crying, even if they are not hurt, just because they are a little scared, you don’t need to hug them and empathize. If you do, you will only make the situation look even more serious in the kid’s eyes. The consequences: Children cry every time they hurt themselves, even if they are not in pain.

In the past, child-rearing in France was even stricter.
When we go see my husband’s friend, we often talk about child-rearing. About how things were and how they are today. So, this man had very strict rules in his family when he was a kid. He addressed his parents in a very polite way — Vous, Papa.
During lunch, when the kids were sitting at the table with their parents, they were not allowed to speak. Very often, when a child can already eat on their own, they even sit at a different table.
Only after finishing their meal are the children allowed to ask for permission to go.
Children can only play with their toys in their rooms. There is no way that toys would just lie around the house. Nowadays, it’s really surprising to hear these stories. The times and rules are changing, and children are now allowed to do more.
There’s no need for mothers to feel guilty.
Many mothers feel worried all the time. If their child woke up, it’s because they are hungry, scared, ill, or bored... But French women just live and enjoy their lives. They don’t forget about themselves, about their husbands, or about the things they love. They know that there are no perfect mothers. They are self-organized and they know how to set the right priorities.
How French mothers make their everyday lives easier
Children and adults eat at the same time. At the age of 2 (approximately), kids start eating the same food as adults.
Children don’t get to choose what they want to eat: mothers cook and they dictate what the kids will eat.
You will never see a French mother begging a child to eat.
French kids always take naps at the same time.
Parents don’t use “baby talk.”
They don’t use rude words.
Children play in their rooms while their parents do what they want.
Children also need personal space. Of course, they do things together and play together.
Children are taught to be self-sufficient. For example, they help their parents with chores, set the table, etc. Children feel more confident when they do “adult” stuff.
Children always go to bed at the same time, so parents can spend some time together in the evening.
You won’t see little kids in restaurants very often.
Children don’t go to restaurants until they are around 4 years old. The thing is, for a French person, having a meal is not about eating to live. When an average French person goes to a restaurant, they do it to rest and have a nice time. This is why French people with small children choose: to eat at home.
McDonald’s.
a small family cafe.
In France, they don’t trust their kids with just anyone.
If children and parents go for a walk, they do it to enjoy their time together. I was amazed that in local cafes, there are no “children areas” where parents can send their children to play with others while they rest. When I asked my husband about these areas, he said that he would never trust his child with a person he didn’t know.
How children behave at someone else’s place
The most important rule: children have to ask for permission to start eating , and they should never take food from the table without asking.
, and they should never take food from the table without asking. Very often, children take cookies from a bowl and then change their minds and put them back. This doesn’t look very good. So, if you touch something, you eat it or at least put it on your plate instead of putting it back.
Children ask for permission to leave the table and play. You then wipe their hands, and you know they won’t stain anything, and this is what well-mannered kids do.
and play. You then wipe their hands, and you know they won’t stain anything, and this is what well-mannered kids do. Parents always make sure their kids don’t make too much noise . Of course, sometimes it’s impossible, especially if they are small and there are more than 2 kids. But your job is to let the child know that they are not alone and that they are distracting others. This is how they learn to respect other people.
. Of course, sometimes it’s impossible, especially if they are small and there are more than 2 kids. But your job is to let the child know that they are not alone and that they are distracting others. This is how they learn to respect other people. There is only one trick to teaching children how to behave at the table. Parents need to have good manners. The most important thing is having dinners together as a family. All family members at the same time. This is the magic time. The sooner you have this tradition, the better.
They don’t take parenthood extremely seriously.
We went for a walk and stopped by a butcher shop. I started talking to the seller about kids. And I said something like, “I understand that what I have now is happiness and I will miss it in 15 years.” And the man replied, “When you are retired, this is when your life just starts. That’s how it was with my wife and me.” For French people, life starts at the age of 50.
They have an interesting attitude toward divorce.
In France, women file for divorce more often than men. And what’s even more surprising is that they often leave their children with their husbands and start building a new family. I’m not judging — I think that a divorce is often the fault of both partners. Here’s an example: a local friend of mine lives with a man and 3 of his children from his first marriage. Their mom went to Guadeloupe to be with her new man.

We at Bright Side also have some cravings from time to time and decided to dig deeper and find out why and what the body actually needs.
1. Spicy food
Spicy food becomes like this mostly because of peppers. Besides something great, like speeding up your metabolism, a component called capsaicin can relieve pain in your joints and muscles and can even take the edge off your migraines. We might unconsciously consume it and not even realize that it makes us feel better.
2. Dark chocolate
Some dark chocolate contains more caffeine than a can of cola (around 30 mg). This component boosts your awakeness and energy because it stimulates the central nervous system. So, each time you feel tired and sleepy, it’s normal to crave a bar of chocolate to become more productive. The second option for why you’re so into dark chocolate is because you need magnesium. Still, researchers are not sure about it, because there are other products that contain magnesium, like nuts.
3. Peanut butter
In general, peanut butter is nutritionally rich. It contains a component that is used to make medicine, mostly for lowering cholesterol levels. You could also be craving peanut butter because of a nutritional deficiency. This product is a source of protein, antioxidants, fat, iron, magnesium, and calcium.
4. Ice
The desire to chew ice is often associated with an iron deficiency. It can happen with or without anemia. The actual reason for the craving is unclear, but there is a suggestion that chewing ice might increase alertness if you have an iron deficiency with anemia. Another less popular version of why you may have this craving is stress and emotional problems.
5. Pastries
Pastries are very high in carbs. It’s easy to feel satisfied after eating a slice of cake because this many calories can you a lot of energy, fast. Research has discovered that the “universal carbohydrate craving time” is between 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. every day, so be careful during this time if you’re on a special diet. Also, when your body feels hungry for bread, cake, or pasta, it’s lacking chromium or nitrogen. And some researchers connect wanting to eat carbs with low moods and stress. Eating cake releases the hormone of happiness called serotonin.
6. Meat and hamburgers
If you’ve suddenly started craving hamburgers, think about what exactly is making you crave them. It’s probably the red meat. First of all, meat contains lots of protein, so maybe your body is lacking it. Second, red meat contains iron, zinc, and vitamin B. Also, one study suggested that having a diet rich in protein could be the key to help you avoid excessive snacking and obesity.
7. Soda drinks
It could just be a matter of taste that you prefer carbonated drinks, instead of plain water, when you feel thirsty. But soda contains phosphoric acid that interferes and leaches calcium and magnesium from your bones. If you already drink bottles and bottles of soda every day, there is a possibility that you struggle with getting enough of these 2 nutrients. By reaching for even more soda water, you open up more chances for cravings to strike.

Simple guys with Apollo’s appearance have continued to conquer the hearts of women all over the world. There is even a special term for them — himbo that consists of him and bimbo. This type of man is literally at the peak of their popularity in 2020. We are sure if you met someone like this, you’d be knocked off your feet too.
Bright Side editorial learned who these men are, what kind of life they have, and what they do to win our hearts. At the end, there is a bonus test that will help you figure out whether your man can be called a himbo too.
What qualities himbos have
Imagine an attractive man who regularly goes to the gym but who isn’t necessarily known for his intellectual achievements. He could be an accountant, a lawyer, or a doctor who is not shooting for the stars and who is totally satisfied with the lifestyle he has. This person will never poisonously taunt others, judge people, or talk about them behind their backs, that’s why he is adored by everyone and is always invited somewhere. He is a welcome guest in any home. If this man has a beloved woman, he will be faithful to her. He won’t look around searching for better options, and he won’t try to start affairs or even flirt with her friends. The woman who is with him will feel a lot of support beside him, while their relationship will resemble a partnership with equality and mutual respect. Or maybe you can try to imagine a golden retriever turning into a human. That’s what a himbo is — a hot attractive man with an outstanding sense of humor and a kind heart.
Why intellect has faded into the background
One of the reasons is the growing movement of feminism. A modern woman is self-sufficient and can provide for herself and her children. Many females no longer want to live off their husbands — they opt for partnership relationships. In the past, women used to appreciate smart men because having a developed intellect meant there was a higher possibility for good earnings. Today’s women don’t need that anymore. They work by themselves and they don’t need a wallet next to them, but instead a friend they can always rely on. There is nothing pleasant in coming home tired from work to a husband who is complaining that no one understands him. Cynical men like Sherlock Holmes, who lament that no one can fully appreciate their sophisticated mind and smartness, have already become a thing of the past.
The advantages himbos have in comparison with other men
If you were walking along a narrow path and there was a stranger following you, would you be scared? If it’s a himbo, you won’t be frightened at all. This is one of the main advantages — a himbo will not bring harm to a weaker person and is not capable of being mean. He is not a handsome devil who enjoys his victories over women’s hearts, but just a kind guy with big muscles — the embodiment of harmless masculinity. When it comes to having a relationship with this person, you can be sure that he has no hidden motives. If something is worrying him, he talks about it directly. But you shouldn’t consider a himbo a silly man. He is just a positive man who is not interested in intellectual rivalry with anyone. And, by the way, it’s these guys who will be the first to notice that you’ve changed your hair color or that you are carrying heavy bags and need help.

brightside--2020-09-16--4 Theories to Help You Understand the Meaning of “Black Square” in 5 Minutes

When looking at modern art , many people say things like , “ What ’ s so special about this ?
I could do this myself !
” Kazimierz Malevich ’ s Black Square probably gets this reaction a lot .
Almost every visitor said these words at the exhibition in 1980 .
So , why is a simple black square on a white background such a big deal in the art world ?
We at Bright Side have reviewed very different — and even opposing — approaches to Black Square and have made a guide about the painting for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you understand if this painting is a masterpiece or if any old child could recreate it .
And in the bonus feature , you ’ ll find out what scientists found underneath the top layer .
1 .
Black Square is a metaphor for art itself .
Kazimierz Malevich contrasted his Black Square to traditional art .
And it ’ s surprising that the Black Square can be found in any traditional painting .
If you take the Mona Lisa and remove the background — the clothes and the woman — what do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a blank page — otherwise known as a black square .
So , if you remove the subject from art , you ’ ll always get a black square — art in its purest form without any extra additives .
Malevich didn ’ t like the fact that art was only a reflection of reality .
He was against trying to portray the 3D-reality on a 2D-canvas .
Malevich wanted to free art , so he created Black Square .
According to an expert of Russian avant-garde art , Tatyana Goryacheva , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form and color and is a new starting point in the history of art .
This is because the square is the simplest shape , and black is not even a color .
Black Square is the beginning of the rebellion , a revolution from classic art to suprematism .
The painting feels like nothing — it ’ s emptiness and the absence of an image .
This way , it ’ s the beginning of a new direction .
More modern ideas explain Black Square as a turned-off screen .
At first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reality .
Then , it started to get messy .
When someone tried to fix the antenna , things got even worse and then someone turned the TV off .
The changing image on the screen is a metaphor of the path of art from classic and realism to futurism and cubism .
The person that turned off the screen that wasn ’ t showing anything good anymore is Malevich himself and his TV is the Black Square .
Alexandre Benois , an artist , critic , and contemporary of Malevich ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This black square in a white frame — this is not a simple joke , not a simple dare , not a simple little episode which happened at the house at the Field of Mars .
Rather , it ’ s an act of self-assertion of that entity called ’ the abomination of desolation , ’ which boasts that through pride , through arrogance , through trampling of all that is loving and gentle it will lead all beings to death.
” So , according to Benois , the painting wasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do something big and ended up showing the worst sides of himself and humiliated art with his painting .
The artist didn ’ t argue with that but he said he was happy that he was different from other artists .
Bonus : what was found under Black Square In 2015 , experts at the Tretyakov Gallery studied the painting with X-rays , UV-light , microscopes , and other tools .
The scientists were interested in the bright paint seen through the craquelures .
They knew something else was underneath the painting .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ one but 2 new paintings under the upper layer and something more .
• The first layer was a painting that looked similar to the 1913 piece , The Knife Grinder Principle of Glittering by Kazimir Malevich .
It had pink , green , and orange colors .
It was finished and the paint was dry — it even had its own craquelures .
• The second layer was a painting in the proto-suprematism style , similar to Lady at the Poster Column by Malevich .

When looking at modern art, many people say things like, “What’s so special about this? I could do this myself!” Kazimierz Malevich’s Black Square probably gets this reaction a lot. Almost every visitor said these words at the exhibition in 1980. So, why is a simple black square on a white background such a big deal in the art world?
We at Bright Side have reviewed very different — and even opposing — approaches to Black Square and have made a guide about the painting for you. These 4 theories will help you understand if this painting is a masterpiece or if any old child could recreate it. And in the bonus feature, you’ll find out what scientists found underneath the top layer.
1. Black Square is a metaphor for art itself.
Kazimierz Malevich contrasted his Black Square to traditional art. And it’s surprising that the Black Square can be found in any traditional painting. If you take the Mona Lisa and remove the background — the clothes and the woman — what do you have left? An empty canvas, a blank page — otherwise known as a black square. So, if you remove the subject from art, you’ll always get a black square — art in its purest form without any extra additives. Malevich didn’t like the fact that art was only a reflection of reality. He was against trying to portray the 3D-reality on a 2D-canvas. Malevich wanted to free art, so he created Black Square.
2. Black Square is ground zero.
According to an expert of Russian avant-garde art, Tatyana Goryacheva, Black Square is the ground zero of form and color and is a new starting point in the history of art. This is because the square is the simplest shape, and black is not even a color. Black Square is the beginning of the rebellion, a revolution from classic art to suprematism. The painting feels like nothing — it’s emptiness and the absence of an image. This way, it’s the beginning of a new direction.
3. Black Square is a TV that’s turned off.
More modern ideas explain Black Square as a turned-off screen. At first, the image was harmonious and showed reality. Then, it started to get messy. When someone tried to fix the antenna, things got even worse and then someone turned the TV off. The changing image on the screen is a metaphor of the path of art from classic and realism to futurism and cubism. The person that turned off the screen that wasn’t showing anything good anymore is Malevich himself and his TV is the Black Square.
4. Black Square is a sign of Malevich’s bad temper.
Alexandre Benois, an artist, critic, and contemporary of Malevich’s, said of the Black Square: “This black square in a white frame — this is not a simple joke, not a simple dare, not a simple little episode which happened at the house at the Field of Mars. Rather, it’s an act of self-assertion of that entity called ’the abomination of desolation,’ which boasts that through pride, through arrogance, through trampling of all that is loving and gentle it will lead all beings to death.” So, according to Benois, the painting wasn’t art. Malevich just wanted to do something big and ended up showing the worst sides of himself and humiliated art with his painting. The artist didn’t argue with that but he said he was happy that he was different from other artists.
Bonus: what was found under Black Square
In 2015, experts at the Tretyakov Gallery studied the painting with X-rays, UV-light, microscopes, and other tools. The scientists were interested in the bright paint seen through the craquelures. They knew something else was underneath the painting. They were amazed when they found not one but 2 new paintings under the upper layer and something more. The first layer was a painting that looked similar to the 1913 piece, The Knife Grinder Principle of Glittering by Kazimir Malevich. It had pink, green, and orange colors. It was finished and the paint was dry — it even had its own craquelures.
The second layer was a painting in the proto-suprematism style, similar to Lady at the Poster Column by Malevich. It didn’t have the numbers and shapes that were typical for cubism and the colors were brighter.
Researchers found Malevich’s fingerprints .
. Also, under the square, they found the words, “Negroes fight in a tunnel.” This is a reference to an earlier work by another artist. In the 1880s, Alphonse Allais drew a black square and titled it, Negroes Fight in a Tunnel.
When the experts read the words, they realized that before, the square had always been exhibited upside-down.
It’s also worth noting that Black Square is not actually black and not really a square. The sides of this geometric shape are not equal nor are they parallel to each other or the sides of the frame. And the color inside the shape isn’t really black. Malevich mixed 3 paints: black ochre, organic burned bone, and surprisingly, copper arsenate, which has a dark-green color. He also added some chalk to remove the shine. And the digital version of the painting actually has 18,000 colors. The meticulous choice of color and the dynamic shape indicate the fact that Black Square wasn’t a spontaneous piece that resulted in him wanting to draw something quick and simple. It was a result of long and hard work.

Gasoline is very volatile, so the scenes where bad guys pour gas on cars and walk away are nothing more than a fantasy. In real life, the gas would burn their hands and eyes.
Chloroform can’t put someone instantly to sleep, so it’s pointless to put it on a cloth and up against someone’s face. It can knock someone out, but it will take at least 5 minutes.
A lie detector test can’t reveal if someone is lying or not. It can only measure anxiety levels, which could appear even when someone is not lying. Also, in many movies, you can see characters tricking lie detector machines by putting a needle in their boot and stepping on it every time they answer a question. The pain is supposed to mess up the results. But this is only partially true: the object would have to be sharp enough to be painful after the slightest movement so that the interviewer wouldn’t notice anything.

A reporter from New Zealand decided to ask the question, “What’s considered trashy if you’re poor, but classy if you’re rich?” on her Twitter and the users of Reddit joined this discussion too.
At Bright Side, we researched the opinions from the internet, interviewed our colleagues, and wrote down the answers we found the most interesting.
1. An old car
While some can might it “vintage” or “rare,” others just call it “an old car” that you can drive until it eventually breaks down. When you’re poor, the most expensive thing you own is a really old car. © chowderneck / reddit
Rich people really don’t own anything personally. Their family company or trust does... So yeah, a $50 million car might be the only thing they DO own. © corporaterebel / reddit

2. Walking or cycling
Walking is good for your health. Choosing a bicycle over a car is good for the environment. But are all people who ride bicycles environmentalists? Perhaps, to be seen as a person who leads a healthy lifestyle or takes care of the environment, one has to have a big bank account or talk out loud about their choices. Living car-free, as I discovered recently. If you’re rich, you’re considered a socially woke and ecologically conscious person. If you’re poor, you’re considered a drag on society, because your life is dictated by what you can get to on a bike or via public transit and when. © manapan / reddit

3. Fixing clothes and shoes
Fixing things and reusing plastic items and shopping bags instead of disposable bags are actions that are considered eco-friendly. But double standards make it difficult to perceive a person who uses the same shopping bag many times because they are poor in the same way as a person who goes shopping with a mesh bag because they care about the environment. A person with a limited budget takes their shoes to be repaired because of their lack of money, and they hardly think about protecting the environment. Wealthy people, on the other hand, prefer to use old things because they want to challenge the consumer society.
4. Gardening
Prince Charles is a big fan of gardening. He grows organic vegetables and fruit and involves his grandson George in his hobby. But the things that some consider a hobby, others have to use in order to provide their family with diverse food and to save money.
5. Antique furniture, clothes, and everyday items
Some who have antiques in their house will be known as collectors, others will be known as hoarders or poor because they can’t buy new things. The same goes for clothes. Wealthy people wear old clothes during important events and call them vintage, while less fortunate people have to wear old clothes due to their lack of money. My family’s so poor I have to wear my mother’s hand-me-downs and my sister has to wear mine. I also have a few men’s shirts, all of them hand-me-downs from my dad. © chaosgirl93 / reddit

6. Animal print and torn clothes
Many people associate leopard print, ripped jeans, and sportswear with a lack of taste. And many still argue about whether ripped jeans are decent enough to wear in public. Once they were relevant to the working class only, but then they became popular thanks to the punk and hippie movements. However, all the outfits worn by celebrities immediately become trendy. Wearing jeans with holes in them became fashionable because it was a sign of someone who worked, but doesn’t care, because they like the jeans. Then companies started deliberately ripping them and charging a premium. There are $500 ripped jeans out there that rich people buy to look like the working class. © unknown author / reddit

Sadly, I still have to wear a suit to work. © stigstig76 / reddit
7. Vacations in your home country
Not everyone can afford to vacation in distant countries, but they can relax in neighboring countries or in their home country. This happens because they have a limited budget. But, when your income allows you to travel around the world and you decide you want to explore places in your home country, everyone around you begins to praise you for supporting the local economy.
8. Many pets at home
As one Reddit user said, “The only difference between a ‘cat hoarder’ and ‘animal rescuer’ is their budget.” True, a person with 5 cats living in a studio apartment will be called crazy, while a person feeding their numerous pets on the lawn of their mansion will be called a noble animal rescuer. My wife and I are middle-class, we each make about $50K a year. We got lucky with a good deal on a house and now share it with 39 critters. All but about 3 have been rescued from bad situations. We spend a good chunk of our income on vet and rehab stuff. People sometimes think it’s odd that we have so many, but never had anyone think it’s trashy or classy. © qalashnikov/reddit
Back then horses were for the commoner, while cars were for the rich. Now having horses has become a luxury sport of the rich. As for us, have fun stuck in traffic. © francisbaconcantdraw / reddit
My great aunt was born rich, married rich, and never worked a day in her life. She was a hoarder, and at one point she had over 200 cats. Mom always said that the only reason her aunt wasn’t called a crazy cat lady was money. © agentofthering / reddit
9. A home wedding
It’s either you try to save money and invite the number of guests that your home has enough room for, or you own a mansion with immense surrounding territories big enough for a fancy wedding. I used to drive charter buses and one time I had to provide transportation for the wedding of the daughter of a billionaire. When we arrived at the wedding venue, I thought we were at a country club. But, it was their house... © A911owner / reddit
In my country that’s the tradition. The wedding is held in front of the house. The organizer will contact the local authorities for a permit. Canopies are raised and tables are set on the road. There is usually no requirement for reserving seats and even strangers can come to have a meal. © DanialE / reddit
10. Living space with minimal furniture
If this is a rich person’s home, the interior will be called minimalistic. But if it’s a poor person’s home, this person will be considered bankrupt. I grew up in a house where every single surface was covered in my Mom’s decorations and picture frames. So you’re right I’m going to have a barren house, even if I get rich. © siscorskiy / reddit
If you’re rich, it also means your house is enormous. © UsuallyInappropriate / reddit
Perhaps you bought a house to appear rich and cannot afford to buy anything after that. © hurryupand_wait / reddit

brightside--2020-09-16--15+ Secret Spots That Can Hide Anything, Even From the Cleverest Thief

For many people , privacy is very important , let alone keeping valuable belongings and memories safe from wandering eyes .
