Self-Portrait 1910

Kazimir Malevich's "Self-Portrait" from 1910 depicts the artist in a bold, expressionistic style. The painting showcases Malevich's early exploration of color and form, evident in the vibrant hues and simplified shapes. The artist's face is rendered in a fragmented manner, with stark contrasts between the green and yellow tones of his skin. The background features abstract forms, hinting at the artist's later development toward Suprematism, a movement characterized by geometric shapes and pure color. This self-portrait provides insight into Malevich's artistic journey, reflecting his experimentation with visual language and his evolving artistic identity.
