Prayer 1907

"Prayer" (1907), by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, depicts a figure kneeling in prayer, encompassed by a vibrant orange and yellow palette. This early work showcases Malevich's artistic exploration of symbolism and spirituality, predating his revolutionary contributions to Suprematism. The simplified forms and muted color scheme evoke a sense of contemplation and reverence, typical of religious imagery. Malevich's work often drew inspiration from Russian folk art and religious iconography, which are evident in this painting.
