Torso 1929

Kazimir Malevich's 1929 "Torso" is a prime example of Suprematism, a movement he founded, which emphasizes geometric abstraction. The painting features a simplified human form composed of basic shapes like circles, squares, and rectangles, painted in a limited palette of bright colors. The composition is stark and minimal, with a focus on pure form and color, showcasing Malevich's belief in the self-sufficiency of art. The work's starkness and simplicity resonate with viewers interested in non-representational art and those who appreciate geometric abstraction.
