Head of a Peasant 1929

Kazimir Malevich's "Head of a Peasant" from 1929 is a prime example of Suprematism, a movement founded by the artist himself. This geometric composition reduces the human form to basic shapes and vibrant colors, emphasizing the abstract over the representational. The stark white and red of the head contrast with the blue and green of the background, while the small figures below suggest a rural setting. The black lines and geometric forms evoke a sense of solidity and structure, reflecting the influence of Cubism on Malevich's work. This piece is a captivating exploration of the human form through a decidedly abstract lens.
