We went from the Kovno 1914

Kazimir Malevich's 1914 artwork, "We went from the Kovno," is a striking example of the artist's use of bold, flat colors and simplified shapes. The piece depicts a mounted figure against a backdrop of a bright blue sky, a white cloud, and red cannons firing into the sky. The use of primary colors and geometric shapes is a hallmark of Malevich's early work and prefigures his development of Suprematism, a movement that embraced non-representational art forms. The image is both playful and evocative, suggesting the themes of war, heroism, and landscape. This artwork is considered a significant example of Russian avant-garde art and is a key piece in understanding the evolution of Malevich's artistic vision.
