It's black. It's a square. It's a bit crackly after ageing.
Malevich described this work as an exploration into 'zero of form' - by not painting objects recognisable in the real world, it's free of logic and reason. All that's left is pure feeling - what he considered the truth.
When first exhibited, Malevich hung his square in the top corner of the room, a space traditionally reserved for religious icons in Russian homes. His square functions as a portal to a supreme realm of consciousness. Black Square is thought by many to be the most important painting of the twentieth century.

Logic and reason, being imposed and not inherent are universally present as we experience impose them as we clothe the world in meaning and interpretation.
Your late modern notions are 20 years out of date.
I find it interesting. What I don't buy is the pretentiousness.
