Peasant Women in a Church 1912

"Peasant Women in a Church" (1912) by Kazimir Malevich is a black and white drawing featuring a group of women standing in a line. The figures are drawn in a simplified, almost schematic style, with their features emphasized through bold, dark lines. The women's faces are expressionless, creating a sense of anonymity and detachment. This piece exemplifies Malevich's transition from his early, more representational style towards his later Suprematist art. This drawing showcases the development of his distinctive artistic language, characterized by geometric forms and a reduction of visual elements to their essentials.
