Haymaking 1929

"Haymaking" (1929) by Kazimir Malevich is a prime example of Suprematism, an art movement he founded in the 1910s. This oil painting depicts a worker, likely a peasant, in a field with other figures in the distance. Malevich's use of geometric shapes and flat planes, combined with bold, contrasting colors, simplifies the scene, emphasizing form over representation. The worker's figure dominates the canvas, with simplified features and bold primary colors, highlighting the human element in the context of labor and the natural world.
