House in the wall 1911

"House in the Wall" is a 1911 drawing by Kazimir Malevich, a prominent figure in the Russian avant-garde movement. The artwork depicts a simple house with a fence and a wagon in front of it, suggesting a rural scene. The stark, simplified lines and shaded forms create a sense of depth and dimensionality while showcasing the artist's emerging cubist style. Malevich, known for his revolutionary contributions to Suprematism, explored the essence of form and color in his art. Although this work predates his iconic abstract compositions, it showcases his early interest in simplifying shapes and exploring the fundamental elements of visual language.
