Samovar 1913

Kazimir Malevich's 1913 painting, "Samovar," embodies the artist's early experiments with Cubism and Suprematism. The artwork features a fragmented, geometric composition, with interlocking shapes and planes rendered in muted tones of browns, grays, and purples. While the title suggests a traditional Russian teapot, the representation is abstract, showcasing Malevich's departure from representational art. The piece explores the interplay of form and color, laying the groundwork for his later, more radical abstract compositions.
