We went out of Mlawa 1914

"We Went Out of Mlawa," created in 1914 by Kazimir Malevich, is a vibrant and satirical illustration depicting a group of Cossack horsemen riding across a grassy landscape. The bold colors and simplified forms characteristic of Malevich's style evoke a sense of dynamism and movement, while the text, which translates to "We went out of Mlawa, to beat the sausage-makers to glory," suggests a commentary on the political climate of the time. The work showcases Malevich's early exploration of folk themes and his ability to imbue everyday subjects with symbolic meaning.
