About As we stopped for lyk

The artwork titled “As we stopped for lyk,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1914, is a piece that belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified as a poster.

In this work, a central figure is depicted riding a white horse across a landscape. The rider, dressed in a red top and holding a spear, appears to be journeying through a terrain dotted with what appears to be red flowers. In the background, distant buildings and birds in flight can be seen against a sky of deep blue. The art style is simplistic, characterized by bold outlines and flat, vibrant colors, which are typical of the Primitivism movement Malevich was associated with at the time. The poster also carries inscriptions in Russian, adding a narrative element to the visual imagery.
