Scope and Contents

The stiff papercard is flat in contrast to the issued folded card that permits the two columns of poetry to stand up. The layout is quite different from the issued card that is also held by the Sackner Archive. The poem describes Finlay's impressions of Malevich's suprematist paintings in terse terms. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
