Geometry Daily jalopnik Wouldn't beat yourself up for not knowing or finding it. It's about 5 to 6 miles south of town down US-41/Murfreesboro Rd. Not exactly the best area and definitely not a place you'd go while visiting and just happen to spot it. I'm not beating myself up about it... I usually try to find diversions while traveling... This is _totally_ something I would scout out... I also try to find off-beat eats... I'm not so impressed with Broadway... Stop by Joey's House of Pizza if you're going to Lane's. Cool...

His development of the ideas behind the Suprematist art movement were very influential in the development of the Bauhaus and the Constructivist art movements. Perhaps his most famous work was the 1919 propaganda poster "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge". In his early years he developed a style of painting in which he used abstract geometric shapes, which he referred to as "prouns", to define the spatial relationships of his compositions. He moved around in the 1920s and spent time in both Germany as a cultural representative of Russia and, after he was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, Switzerland in a Swiss sanatorium.
