Peasant Woman 1930

Kazimir Malevich's "Peasant Woman" (1930) exemplifies Suprematism, an art movement founded by Malevich. This artwork depicts a simplified, geometric figure, a peasant woman, rendered in flat, black, and white forms. The figure is positioned against a background of bold, horizontal stripes in vibrant colors, suggesting a field or landscape. Malevich rejected traditional representation in favor of abstract forms, seeking to express pure feeling and emotion through color and shape. This painting, with its bold, geometric forms and vibrant colors, represents a key work in the evolution of abstract art.
