Peasant woman 1912

"Peasant Woman" (1912) by Kazimir Malevich is a prime example of his Suprematist style, where geometric shapes and vibrant colors dominate the composition. The painting, now housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, is a departure from traditional representational art. Malevich's use of bold, angular forms, particularly cones and triangles, creates a dynamic and abstract portrayal of a peasant woman, reducing her form to essential geometric elements, emphasizing the purity of geometric forms and their potential for artistic expression. The painting's bold color palette and flatness contribute to its modern and avant-garde aesthetic.
