Head of Peasant 1932

Kazimir Malevich's 1932 painting *Head of Peasant* depicts a close-up portrait of a man with a prominent beard, set against a landscape of fields and a blue sky. The painting's bold colors and simplified forms exemplify Malevich's Cubist and Suprematist styles, which he further explored during his lifetime. The portrait, though simplified, displays the distinct features of the peasant, connecting the work to the themes of social realism that were popular in Russia in the early 20th century. This painting is a notable example of Malevich's transition away from his earlier abstract works and into a more representational style.
