Decor sketches for the opera "Victory over the Sun" 1913

This sketch by Kazimir Malevich was created in 1913 as a design for the futuristic opera "Victory over the Sun". The artwork embodies the principles of Suprematism, an art movement founded by Malevich which sought to liberate art from representation and focus on pure geometric forms and color. This sketch exemplifies Malevich's exploration of abstract forms and their ability to convey emotion and meaning. The composition is composed of black and white geometric shapes, creating a dynamic and rhythmic interplay. The simplicity of the design reflects the revolutionary spirit of the opera, which sought to break free from traditional artistic conventions and embrace the future.
